Along with the Murphy rev neg, the Gonzalez rev neg, and the Ripken FF, this was one of the most coveted errors of my collecting youth (years 1985-1992). Wish I had seen this lot. I woulda paid double the final price without hesitation!

Memory lane.

    I guess there is a 3rd version with yellow lettering. Anyone have any info on that card?

    I don't collect errors and to be honest - don't remember this one being hot - but there were so many - I remember a Ryan Donruss error being big also.

    Considering this one has two sales, that purchase should make it's money back without too much trouble

    Thanks for your generous offer, but I JUST bought a Comstock lot on ebay 20 mins ago that included the '88 error and corrected as well as another of his error and corrected cards. I might be interested in a yellow letters version however.

    I can confirm that the yellow name (Keith Comstock, not Padres) does exist.
