Steve--there are really three types of errors in the Old Judge set. The first, and least interesting, are spelling errors in names. These happen a lot and usually don't carry much of a premium. For HOFers they carry a little more of a premium since more people collect variations of these. Probably the most interesting and valuable errors are misidentifications. The most common are the switching of names on certain Macullar and Maskrey poses. These only carry a moderate price premium. Others carry more of a premium ("Jim" Keefe cards, a hybrid between spelling error, and misidentification are very desirable cards). The McGreachery error is a misidentification (might have been intentional, might have been accidental) on a HOFer and is a portrait, and a very rare card (only two copies known). This card could easily be a six figure card and is probably the second or third most valuable HOF pose, after Anson in Uniform and Wright pose three. Falling between name spelling errors and misidentifications are wrong teams. These are interesting and can command relatively strong prices.
