This year Topps had two
errors with their Topps Now releases, the first being card #264 John/Jose
Harrison error which eventually led to a lawsuit being filed against Topps
after they corrected the error in the artwork prior to printing the card and
sending out the corrected Josh Harrison cards to buyers.
The second error was a
mix up with cards #474 and #483 where Mookie Betts and Nomar Carciaparra
appeared on the front of both cards instead of Carlos Correa and Alex Rodriguez
on card #474. They didn’t say why but Topps decided to ship the error card #474
with the wrong image, my guess is based on the previous lawsuit and they wanted
to ensure the cards got out in a timely manner.
But it now appears that
Topps has gone back and printed card #264 with the name John Harrison and card
#474 with Carolos Correa and Alex Rodriguez on the front and they are sending
them out to buyers. I am not sure of this process and how the shipments are
working but there are currently two #264 John Harrison error cards and they are
priced at $100 and $5,000. There are three of the corrected versions of card
#474 Carlos Correa/Alex Rodriguez and they are priced at $225, $300 and $300.
There are no sales of either of these re-printed cards.
I did purchase the card
through a seller on eBay as a pre-sell so I may be out of luck getting the
corrected card for my Mariners collection but I did send an email to the seller
and explained things so hopefully he will be willing to send on the card to me.
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWow. Those prices are ridiculous. Hope the seller takes care of you.
