1989 Fleer Wade Boggs No Dot error
I hoarded these cards since they came out. Up until the pandemic I bought every one I could find but one that was just too expensive. In all that time I hoarded around 15 total.
In the last few years these things have been coming out of the woodwork. I know of way over a 100 of them now with 2 other guys having around 30 each. It was very depressing to me when all these cards I had hoarded for close to 30 years went from being fairly rare to having tons of them known. Because so many have shown up I believe I am done buying them and just picked up my last one. I have been watching this autographed one with a JSA sticker on the back for some time. I recently sold a card to a fellow member and used part of that money to by this card. |

Yes I sent you one a few years ago. On the back after Throws Right most have a black dot like this one. The now almost kinda rare ones don't have the dot.

The rare no dot ones are on COMC for $20 each. Pretty cool!

That is way too much. I was lucky and had about half of mine given to me.
LOL, seriously one of those cards on COMC was $6.99 before I made this thread. I know I looked and it isn't a newly listed card. Someone just jacked up the price. If someone needs one PM me. Last edited by bnorth; 03-23-2024 at 05:12 PM. |

I have been an influencer on this card for decades. It is a card pretty much no body else ever cared about. Had many people try to sell them to me for insane money over the last few years.

Looks like the one on COMC is down to $3.82 if anyone is looking for one. If it drops much more I might buy it. Yes I am an addict.

I just sorted through 8 1989 Fleer factory sets and 1/8 had the no-mark variation. Also worth noting that the same set had a Phil Bradley without the little pink curl on front (by Fleer, like Randy's card), while the other 7 had the curl/mark.
I'd previously been under the impression that these were only found in wax. Edit: For anyone curious: -No treadway target -No checklist w/ positions -No notable anything else

The one good thing about Covid was it brought out a few new to the hobby junk wax variations. It also made a few example that used to be silly rare fairly common. |

After reading all about this card I went and someone just happen to post one without the black variation for $1.99 buy it now on ebay. Bought it just to add to my collection. I checked and i found about 6 in my collection but all had the little black mark.

If he was pushing fake whiteout cards, maybe he didn't realize that the Ripken collectors had all but solidified it as fact that they never made it into sets.

Hey guys,
I believe that Ripken white scribbles can be found in factory sets. Old magazines with interviews with Fleer management indicated that factory sets contained an erased version, aka white scribbles. I have also found a few FF's in factory sets. It is possible. I read that Fleer had workers replace FF's in early printed factory sets with corrected versions, but obviously some slipped past. |

I found one never searched set and went through it. All corrected with Boggs having the dot. The Guillermo Hernandez was the full moose head print error. The Bill Ripken was the BB jagged line version.

That seller opened a small 4 set factory case. All four had the White Scribble. I convinced him to get them graded by PSA. Three came back with 9s and the other was a 10. He sold the 10 for over $1000 - at the time a record price. He sent me one of the 9s - for free. |
