FT: Many Tough Errors & Variations (super scan heavy)

[JollyElm]

I love collecting vintage errors and variations and I'm constantly search these suckers out. Since I still have many major cards needed to complete and/or upgrade my sets, I figured I'd offer up some of these in trade for hits off of my need list. Some of these cards are relatively easy to come by, but then there are quite a few that are incredibly tough to find. I've included scans of both the fronts and backs, because we E & V collectors know that a wide variety of these cards are all about the backs.

I have also added my opinion as to the relative toughness of finding each of these cards. This assessment is based on factors such as general availability and pricing. I've used "Tough" as the default setting, while other hard-to-find cards have more adjectives added.

In the near future, after I further dig through my stuff, I'll add more cards and scans to the tally…so stay tuned.

If you're interested in trading, take a look at all of the scans and LMK what you have to offer. I prefer to trade cards of similar value for each other, not a bunch of commons for an expensive card. My need list (and a list of other things I'm interested in) is found below the scans. Sorry, I'm not looking to sell any of these guys at the moment, just looking to trade. If you have any questions, LMK.

Many of these guys are in pretty nice shape, but they definitely run the gamut of conditions. Some are relatively weak, but most I would say conservatively fall into the ex/ex+ range.

A lot of great stuff here!!!
