They don't come up very often. One on ebay now for $915.

Glad I got mine right after the article. I wonder what actual sales have been

Lemke also pointed out a companion defect on the Preacher Roe card, 218, do you have that one ? Had to look awhile for that one too

Not sure if Cliff does 54 Bowmans but if so could probably trace it all out :-)

I have somewhere between 5 to 10 of them, but I think only one or two of them are high grade. I looked for them heavily when they were introduced on Lemke’s site years ago and surprisingly found quite a few of them but they were almost always off grade. It eventually fell off of my search list, I can’t remember the last time I looked for one.

Well, I have at least six of them that I could find, but they are in much better condition than I remembered, which is a good thing.

So not rare. Scarce? If not a DP how did the Erskine and Rowe occur ?

Remember, they printed a bunch of rounds for this set, because there are so many stat errors. They may be unique to one round of stat errors.

Definitely not rare but I would go with scarce. The Erskine and Roe loop cards are print flaws that contain part of the facsimile signatures of the cards above them, I forget who is above Roe but I know Jackie Jensen was above the Erskine, those are the bottoms of the big loops from the J’s in Jensen’s signature that wound up at the top of the Erskine card. I would assume that the Erskine was corrected very early in the first printing.

It was a chore collecting all the error and correction cards, if only because many were so minor. Maybe John is right it was detected and corrected early with the other errors. But I would guess the error and corrected cards are both more plentiful than these, right ?
