What sort of premium (if any) is placed on a card like this? |

Bomber's Best w/ wrong back
Posted By: Leslie Westbrook
I'm not sure how much of a premium would be placed on that card specifically, but I can tell you what I paid for two of my wrong back cards. I bought a 1941 Play Ball Joe Cronin (probably would grade about a 5-6) with a an upside-down Ralston Helmsly back for about $30 on Ebay. That was the only example of that card that I'd ever seen. Also, I picked up a 1974 Steve Garvey in NM-MT condition with a Milt Pappas back for $10. It didn't seem that in either case much of a premium was placed on the card. In fact, it seemed that the Cronin may have sold for more with the correct back. |

I consider this card to have a Miscut reverse |

for whatever that's worth, but the back would be a major negative for my collecting tastes. |

I guess the BVG 2 grade was due to the centering on the back of the card........ |

Respectfully wondering, how is the back a miscut? To me it looks like the back (of a sheet) had a big shift in the process of being printed (or glued down..not sure of that exact process.) In any event, the cut is fine, the back is way off. No? Neither adjacent card -- on the back -- would be the true Bombers' Best, I don't think. |

Some people (myself included) collect these sorts of printing mishaps. They usually sell very cheap because so many people consider them to be trash. You just have to look for the right collector for it. In prewar, the competition is fierce for misaligned and miscut cards, that's for sure. |

Different people will value it differently, so it depends on the buyer. Many collectors won't place a premium, but a Mantle collector might. The fact that it's a Mantle card is significant, as Mantle specialists might be interested in various oddities and variations. Player collectors are often on the look out for oddities that other collectors might ignore. Also, there are probably at least a few people who collect printing errors and such. I don't doubt that some buyers will pay more for this error than the equivalent card in good condition. |
