I think dealers were selling the original error card for $50 at the time because Donruss pulled it. Then they corrected it in the factory sets, and the corrected version became bigger than the original. <BR/><BR/>And the Billy Ripken... it got tothe point where they had different values for the different corrected versions. The white box was worth a different value than the scribbled out version.

But in your hair reference, we need a Bake McBride mention in there too. He had a great fro along with a great nickname. <BR/><BR/>By the way... I was unable to comment on a previous post. I'm going to have a hard time forgiving you for your bashing of Juan Samuel. I used to be happier than a pig in slop when I pulled a Samuel card.

Genius.<BR/><BR/>I was also a big fan of the 78 Topps Oscar Gamble as well, in fact I think I prefer the 78 version as it gives you another perspective from which to be amazed by the fro. Truly legendary, and probably worthy of Hall of Fame induction. (Seriously, if they're going to induct Sutter...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
