It is exceptionally rare but I don't think anyone is going to pay 2K for it.
Fun to see it come up though.

It is as exceptionally rare as any aesthetically pleasing fish eye or other printing flaw that follows a design pattern, aka, not a weird shape, smear, etc. It matters to a corner of the hobby because Bob Lemke went against protocol and added to the big book. Without that, it wouldn't have the Bigfoot status it does today.
I believe there is a Wathan or some other 1990 Topps yellow excess card on ebay sitting still around $200.
