Ouch, so this could be a Topps marketing variation, I'll stop by Wal-Mart and buy all the cereal boxes and Blaster Boxes they have. Great work by Topps if it is!
I know what you mean. It seems that roughly half of the cards coming out of the blasters are inserts. Out of the 6 blasters that I bought last night, I pulled one Mora. Fortunately it was the error.
<< <i>I purchased 2 blaster boxes from Wal-Mart and neither version came out of them. I am not buying anymore of this stuff. >>
agreed 2 boxes and about another 2 boxes of randoms..
no errors here.....
got a mini puljos and chipper if anyone wants to trade and a tony gwynn jersey card

As far as I can tell, the Inge has not been corrected. However, it wouldn't surprise me to see a corrected version in the factory set when it's released.
#50 is Zack Greinke, but is also available as a SP of Cy Young himself. #155 is Zack Greinke as well, but it is stamped 'AL Cy Young Award Winner' which honors him winning the award last season. Each award winner from 2009 (Pujols, Mauer, Greinke, Lincecum) has a separate base card which honors his individual award.
Read this post and went through my stacks of commons. 5 moras and one was the error. About 80% -90% of mine come from wal-mart & target. I only bought 1 blaster and 2 cereal. The rest were jumbo and wax.
As far as the "b" verisons of the basic set, those are sweet (especially since I don't have any ). It looks like there are about 20 retired players who replace a curent player in the set i.e. joe morgan #165 for brandon phillips #165 (both reds second baseman), wille stargell for andrew McCuthen, walter johnson for roy halliday etc.
Then you throw in the yankee's "pie in the face" sp's and and the million card giveaway and you can understand why these things are popular.
I live in Baltimore and I bought 2 retail boxes from my local Target, they were the last 2 on the shelf. I got one #13 Mora and it was the error. I am going to try again this weekend and see if I can pick up a few more boxes from Wal-Mart and/or Target.
There are now 4 different Mora errors on ebay. Overall, I would guess that at least a few hundred of them made it into packs before the correction took place. Surprisingly this card has received very little hobby press so far.
any thoughts on how the numbers on the mora error would compare to the sp's in the set (the "b" variations ie. water johnson, ty cobb, joe morgan, fisk etc.)?
Well, the Mora Error has been corrected and it's only been found in retail packs(from what I've read), so you're looking at Hobby packs having 0, and what's left of the early retail releases is all that's left. I've busted 150 packs of retail from Wal-Mart and Target and found 0 Mora Errors. My point is, the SP's will keep coming where the Error will not....

I bought 6 total blasters from Target and Wal-Mart and got no Mora. Nothing of any real value, so $120 gone to waste.
The Mora error is reminiscent of the uncut '06 Topps Alex Gordon. Those were found in early wal-mart packs and then dried up quickly. The main difference is that the Gordon had a ton of hobby press right from the start due to its controversial origin. Very few folks seem to know or care about the Mora so far.
I just wanted to remind everyone that the original Mora ebay auction ends tonight just after 9PM eastern time. It will be interesting to see what this card sells for. Good luck to the seller.

Wasn't around for the '06 Gordon (not collecting then) but I agree about the "few folks seem to know or care" part.
Went to a show yesterday, about 25 dealers. Only two knew about the mora error. One guy said he bought a bunch of target and had like 4-5 errors (of course he didn't bring them with him) and no one seemed to care when I showed them mine. Reaction from dealers went from "what's the error" to "well no one's asked for one so they can't be that hot."
Someone alert Beckett - then the card'll be worth a hundred bucks!! Until then it might just be pie faces and code cards.
for the record I walked into walmart this week and bought a couple of rack pack from a store which had just re-stocked. The only mora I found was the error. So at least one option is the wal-mart rack packs. And either this store had some hiding in the back or the new stuff was still the error.
And that first auction might have been the high point (at least until the pricing comes out in the Beckett paper version) at $44, recent prices have been in the $20 range.
the cy young card is part of what their calling " the legend variations" i found a #250 lou gehrig sp tonight sorting,, i guess they have a whole list here they are:,,, bj

Pulled a Mora/Jones error on a Jumbo pack from Wal-Mart today. First Mora of any kind I have out of about 700 cards so far. Too bad they are only going for bout $5 now!

I thought the CY YOUNG card was a different number than his base card?
Collecting Robin Ventura and Matt Luke.
He has two base cards in series one.

<< <i>#155 is also Zack Greinke, but it's his (AL CY Young Award Winner) card.

I'm confused. So we all agree that #50 is his base card? And #155 is his CY Young Award Winner card?
But a variation exists where #50 shows CY Young Award Winner on front?
Or is this classic Beckett variation misinformation?
Collecting Robin Ventura and Matt Luke.
#155 is Zack Greinke as well, but it is stamped 'AL Cy Young Award Winner' which honors him winning the award last season.
