1987 Boardwalk and baseball no slash error

[JustinD]

Surprised that the seller was able to get PSA to establish this as a true variation. I have accepted it for years, but they seem to drag their feet on some of these.

Honestly, I think these are some of the rarer errors of the eighties that no one is after. I think they are 40 dollar cards but interested to watch if he gets his price as an error collector.

I am a Topps guy and a variation guy but often regret getting started on these. Have managed to get 29 of 33. None graded. They are pretty tough

PSA has been grading these for several years. You don't see many around but they are out there. There are 21 PSA Brett's alone. People just hold on to them.

I guess I never ran across a graded copy previously.

I have had mine for some time and was surprised by the prices the seller was asking as I have not seen one break the 50-75 mark prior. However, as said, these are tough.

I've owned two PSA-graded Schmidt variations of this for a number of years.

That said, I haven't seen (m)any No Slash Schmidt variations of this card over the past five years. I've got a few ebay search alerts to see if any more of these pop up, but I really have seen these dry out in terms of availability over the past few years.

Perhaps they're being hoarded by player collectors. Moreso since they are hard to find, but hard to find in top condition.
