A 3rd version found!! Scans added---1989 Topps Football Holman ERR/VAR

[GoldenAge50s]

Is anyone familiar with, or know anything about, the Rodney Holman #32 ERR/VAR where the BE in Bengals (front) is superimposed over one another?

Is it scarce?

Can't seem to find anything about it by Googling.

[GoldenAge50s]

I'm assuming, after over 100 hits, that a Holman ERR/VAR is not known in the hobby?

I can't have the only one, could I?

[PowderedH2O]

I seem to recall a Pro Set variation, but I've not heard of one from Topps.

[GoldenAge50s]

Thanks Sam--Yes there is a Holman E/V in the ProSet--'89 I think.

I don't even recall how I knewor found out to check my cards for this Topps one.

Post a scan of the card if you can.
Thanks,
Robert

Sorry it took so long to get to it! Here's F-B and the enlarged name area. You can clearly see the B & E are onto each other & the whole Bengals-TE part is darker.

I have 7-8 other Holmans & they are normal print.

Anyone else got one? Curious as to scarcity of this seemingly unknown goof.

[Blackie]

Very cool! I never noticed that and I bet I have several hundred that I need to look at to see if I have any the same as this card. Thanks for the information brother!

[GoldenAge50s]

Good Lord! I was just sorting thru another bunch of '89's & found ANOTHER Err/Var--diff from the 1st!

This one has the attempted correction to where the type is offset from the rest of the line.

Here's the 2nd card: Anybody have one of these?

[Blackie]

I prolly looked through 100 or so and didnt find any

[GoldenAge50s]

Thanks Robert!

Makes me wonder how scarce they are?

[Blackie]

Figure they may be quite scare. How many total you got?

[GoldenAge50s]

Just the 2 I show here--1 of each. I have about 7 more Holmans that are perfectly normal as they should be.

I know alot of you have big boxes of '89 junk wax, so who's gonna' look & find some?

[GoldenAge50s]

A 3rd version has shown up per my thread on the EBay Board--the card on the left is another one w/ the B ABOVE and the card on the right is a 3rd version, w/ the B BELOW .

Is this card gonna' turn into a Fleer Ripken FF w/ many attempts to fix?

Post your findings, whether you have any or not--Lets see how many are out there!

[frankbmd]

I think calling Rodney's card another FF is unfair. He is one handsome dude.

[GoldenAge50s]

Really Frank? I hadn't noticed!

[philliesfan]

Oh just great..............Now instead of doing a few little jobs around the house. I will be spending my Friday night looking through my 1989 Topps football looking for these............

Robert

[Blackie]

I looked through all I had and didn't find a single one........good luck looking

[philliesfan]

By the way, the only way they will become valuable is if I don't have any. If I find some, then they will be worthless...............

I do not collect anything outside of baseball, but I bought a collection and it contained 6 different versions of this card


Closeups:


(FULL DISCLOSURE THEY ARE FOR SALE AS I DON'T COLLECT FOOTBALL, I POSTED HERE FOR REFERENCE)

[philliesfan]

I know I have some of those somewhere. I remember seeing them when opening packs but never gave it a second thought. I guess I should go through my commons boxes.............

Wondering what would be the cause of such a string of misprints?

Very odd indeed.

Went through a 1000 count box last night and found ZERO Holman cards. Now to look through some other boxes when I find them.
