Ken griffey jr no name 89 UD rookie

Brings up again the issue of whether fakes have any collectible value in themselves. If for, example you have the Thomas no name, or the 58 Herrer, the Campos Black Star, or partial black star, the 57 Bakep , or the real 89 Griffey, or the Fleer 59 Ted Signs, or the many versions of the Rypken FF, do you add known fakes to your collection, labeled as such. I have done that for some of these and other cards.

I think so. To a degree, at least. I would love to own a copy of the obvious fake 1990 Frank Thomas NNOF that circulated during the late 90's early 00's (the one with the black box intact around the name), as it looks very close and is a confirmed fake. But these cards that are created via damage are absolutely NOT collectible to me. Supposing someone were to reprint the griffey to an exact likeness without his name on front, I would definitely find it an interesting novelty and of some worth.

We should all be thankful that McWilliam didn't think of printing up a few thousand NNOF variations while he was reprinting all the regular Griffeys and reverse negative Murphys.

I wouldn't take the chance. Had some fun and made one real quick for the same issue. Didn't use an eraser and re-added the lost gloss. Can still tell if angled under a halogen. Just a bit more time and it would be difficult to notice. Enjoy!
