Take a look at this, anyone ever seen this card missing the name and number on the front??

[Gonzaleznut]

I have never seen it.

Where do you get all these goofy cards?

Are all of the offbeat errors really legit variations that need to be added to the list? I mean if that is the case, then the different variations of the jersey cards where one swatch is of a home jersey and one swatch of an away jersey are distinct cards too.

I bought someone's Juan collection of 3000+ cards and various other bits. I knew some of what was in it but bought most of it sight unseen. Didn't know about any of these error cards though.

It has put me over 2000 different cards now.

My methodology on error cards is that I will add any error variation that I know exists, either by having it, seeing it on eBay, or another respective Juan collector tells me that it exists.

[Gonzaleznut]

yeah, but they are just printing goofs. They weren't meant to be a different version. I would consider it a novelty and not a card variation.

[freddie]

It is a variation, same as blank backs/wrong backs.

I understand that some look unfavorably on printing mistakes but I enjoy them.

[freddie]

At some point I am going to give you the ability to filter the list on your own terms.

Include:
- Regular Issue Cards
- Error Cards
- Cut Out Cards
- Game Cards
- Misc

I also think they should be added but maybe with a note on who reported it or has it. Like the 93 footlocker card that Dan 2725 has and no one else. Something missing or added to a card is worthy. A shade different is something else.

[freddie]

Compile a list of who has what... I think Chris has the footlocker card as well.
