1990 (and 1989) Upper Deck Erased “Errors”

[jacksoncoupage]

For those who remember the hobby back then, particularly dealer tables and shows from 1990ish, you may recall seeing these phony variations where someone took an eraser to areas of 1989 and 1990 UD cards. Always to black ink areas of the card.

Usually the names on front but sometimes the entire stat area on the backs of 1990s. Very obvious when held in person, under a light source. Often times very sloppy and you see evidence of the eraser.

Until recently, maybe one will pop up on eBay every year. Now I’m seeing several being listed by various sellers over the last week or two on eBay. No huge sales but still odd. Perhaps this “trick” has been rediscovered or a bunch of “vintage” ones have resurfaced?
