[Sean]

John, this is the first time that I've seen most of these.That's a great collection.

Andy, can you tell me the date that this lot sold for $1969?

I have owned a few Polar Bears where the back was blurry at the top, which I thought might have resulted in something like the front of that Rhoades. Weird that the back has such a clear ad.


Thanks for posting - I had not seen any of these.

By the way - has anyone ever seen a back with no front? I know it would be incredibly unlikely, but?

My Tinker. Either missing the red, or was at the very end of production when the red ran out. Not sure.

You got that Tinker for a good price. I would have bid, but the seller seemed kind of weird with the 'came from a plaque' descriptions. Glad it worked out for you.

Johnny, with all due respect, i think your estimates are rather high on that scrap lot. All very rare and pretty amazing, but i think your pricing is just too high, IMO.

Regarding your comparison of "scrap" examples extant to Wagners, Planks, BL 460's, etc. Yes, they exist in very small quantities, but "supply & demand' is the name of the game. your scraps are so thinly collected, there are way more collectors that want Wagners, Planks & BL 460's then there are that want scraps. Mind you, i realize that more & more collectors are getting interested in these errors/misprints/scraps as each year passes, but collectors such as Wonka, Chris, Jamie, yourself and a few others are all battling each other and driving the prices very high. I'm not so sure too many other collectors out there can or want to battle you guys for them. So in actuality theres just a handful of you collecting these rare printing errors. For the money, they'd just rather have other cards, or not even try bidding knowing one of you will win the item(s).

Now, for the record, i myself actually LOVE these errors, and as you know i used to have a very respectable scrap collection many years ago (i was the first one to convince SGC to slab errors & blank backs, and list missing ink or upside down back, blank back, etc on the flips- true story)...no offense to be taken here, you know i think you're a super guy and have one of the best scrap/error collections out there, but i just wanted to respond to your post above.

Best-
MS

Edited to Add: As mentioned above, SGC wasn't slabbing such cards at all, so i convinced them they should slab them "A" and list the error on the flips. Had them do it at a show years back.
