I picked up a Griffey card
that was being sold as an error, but it really isn’t an error. The card is a
test card that was a printer’s scrap. The card began life as a 1995 Stadium
Club Super Skills #SS11 but ended up being used by Topps to practice die-cuts
that would later be used in both 1996 Laser Baseball and 1996 Laser Football.
While I am not certain who the
football player is, I believe it to be Troy Aikman because it looks like a star
on the helmet. I also think the image on the back of the Griffey card is the "front" of the Aikman card.
Love unique cards like this one. Very cool card.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few cards similar to this over the years (although not as cool), but I always wonder if someone just made it on their own, like at their house, not as a test, but just for sh*ts and giggles.
ReplyDeleteI like cards like this. One of my favorites is the 1990 Topps Rookies foil test cards.
DeleteProbably not Troy Aikman facemask isn't right , looks like a generic cutout of a no name football player imo
