I'd love to see them! I'll post scans of all Saturday when I get back to their physical locations, but I have:

Trudebnach, Factory 649 - 5 copies
Trudenbach, Factory 30 - 1 copy
Gillis, Factory 649 - 1 copy
Cloughan, Factory 649 - 3 copies


My cards are not a good representation of the population - Gillis F649 is underrepresented, and Cloughan is very much overrepresented as I've purchased every Cloughan I've seen since I found my first one in 2006. Trudenbach appears to be much more common, though still rare, and I got the extra 4 copies of his F649 for almost nothing. Just never paid the premium for the Gillis F649 error when I've seen extras so far.

Here's my contribution of errors I could find quickly - thought I had a couple more but will have to check more thoroughly later. The Trudenbachs are one of each factory.

Note that the Gillis is a Factory 30 - different than the 649 that you noted.

Now, let the overpaying begin!!

Thank you for sharing your cards! I've gone from being unable to find a photo of Gillis F30 to confirm its existence to seeing 2 here in 24 hours. I'll send you a PM about the overpaying lol

A Cloughan Factory 30 error is now, I believe, the last card from Series 1 that could possibly exist but has not been proven

Here's what I have.

The 3 Cloughan's are all factory 649. Trudenbach below Gillis is a F30, the other 4 are Factory 649's. I have another Trudenbach in a SGC 50 holder that's in my 'slabs to break' box. Gillis is underrepresented, Cloughan over.

Greg and Scott,
There’s somebody on EBay now putting these error cards together and selling them for ridiculous amounts. He has one auction with the 2 Trudenbach errors (factory 30 and 649) and a common non-error one all for just $800 BIN.
He also has a Gillis lot (both error cards if you want to see another factory 30)
and a non-error Gilles card for only $3000 BIN!
If he ever finds out about the Cloughan card, he’ll probably want to sell those for $10k.
Wow! You guys could be rich!

Pretty funny listings, I've paid over $20 only twice for any of these. $1,500 a Gillis (PSA 1 and 1.5 too!)...

I saw those listings as well. I thought I'd have fun and emailed the guy and told him there's a Cloughan error as well that he can sell for even more than the Gillis. He must be out searching every corner of the globe as we speak!

I bet that Trudenbach SGC 50 of yours was one that I sold on eBay for $10 before I realized that was the error. (Sticker residue on the back of the slab?) At the time, I had like 4 of the errors and only 1-2 correct versions, and flipped in my head which was the tougher error version. It might not be $800 but it's more than $10 for sure at least!

It is definitely the same card, that residue on the slab back is pretty strong. I’ve gone over $10 for Trudenbach only once. Cloughans were $1, $3.50 and $35 (listed correctly on eBay). Gillis F649 was in a large lot for $1 a card
