Ad Completely Blacked Out. Obviously.

This is where it gets tricky and depends where they draw the line between partially obscured and ad completely blacked out. But of course there are differences between these and the fully corrected version. As a PSA grader I think I will just go middle of the road on all these cards with the Partially Obscured label so I'm never too wrong. Haha.

Sorry, that was overt sarcasm.

Dylan was 100% spot on. Despite these cards all being examples of error variations, with a couple actually fairly lightly tinted versions, PSA has slapped the Ad Completely Blacked Out label on all of them. We have a new PSA grader in our midst!

I have missed a few pages so if this was mentioned already, please forgive me. I was perusing 22' Topps Heritage and saw this one.

I am thinking this has to be on purpose as a designer joke -



Even Jeter got in on the action -

Surprised to see these listed by multiple sellers. Paging Rich Klein...

Then they could fix the other hundreds if not thousands of messed up listings. I used to love that site but it has been a shit show for years and has gotten a little worse every year for a long time.

You can't even search the site by recent listings of specific cards.

I don’t think this is the ad that was included in the photos used for the 2022 archives cards, but Yankee Stadium did at one time have the same Marlboro ad that was at the Vet and in the background of the 1989 Fleer Johnson error cards.

I’m not sure how we missed this one!
