The ultimate trade up

This is the 5th card Beckett ever graded and a great piece of Beckett history. It is from the companies internal test run of 10 cards before any cards were graded for the public. This is super cool/special because it is a card of Jim Beckett III the founder of Beckett. From my understanding 3 of the 10 original cards graded are the Jim Beckett III Topps Stadium of Stars cards.

As far as value, I value it the same as 4 common T205's and 2 single signed baseballs.

This is an error card, to boot.

Van West, OH, doesn't exist. Van Wert, OH, does. How does Beckett, screw up Beckett's card?

It is a Topps issued card so Topps screwed up. Cool find, I would have never noticed that.

True, but Beckett still graded it. Should designate it like the Billy Ripken FF card.

I had to go look and found a few other Jim Beckett Topps Stadium of Stars cards and they all had it wrong so it is most likely a uncorrected error. I also have serial #007 and it is also Van West.

After looking I do think I had mine highly undervalued and am glad Stephen declined my offer.

Be thankful if you didn't grow up in the 70's.
