Hello again all. This week's error card is of the 1969 Topps Graig Nettles rookie card. The card was printed where the upper left hand black border had a loop, or no loop. This error was very visible and collectors can easily see the difference. The "Looped" variety is the more valued running in the 15-20 dollar range. The "NO LOOP" runs about 7-12 bucks and both are common to find. The real value is anything graded PSA 8 or higher (especially in the LOOP variety.) High grades are hard on this card as there are so many Off Center cuts of this card. Below has both versions. Take a look !

    Hey thanks for the pics. I always knew of this variation but I never knew what or where the "loop" was or what to look for. No I have to go find the one I have and check it out.
    Thanks,

    Rich

    FWIW his name is Graig not Craig. If it matters.


    I think he also has a variation card where it is mis spelled 'Craig' Fleer perhaps?

    Ya that was one of the "on purpose" errors by Fleer, they were idiots in the early 80s making all those errors.

    The 69 Topps used to be one of my favorite errors to find, its easily seen, at one time I had like 20 of them (w/loop), not tough at all.

    yeah, I just want a nice PSA 8 of each, as mine aren't great quality

    I heard of this, but never saw one.

    Hopefully, with all the vintage collectors on this board, someone can help provide a scan of the White Letters version.
