89 UD Griffey- Is This A Print Defect?
I picked this up this past summer and felt I overpaid ($80) but maybe now I got a bargain. I thought the card would grade a 9 but noticed a small line about half way through his right collar bone. It almost looks like a faint line of ink but I really don’t think it’s from a pen. Have any of you ever seen print defects like this with the set.
BTW, sorry for the low quality pic... it’s in one of the cases I have hanging on my wall and it’s a pain to open up.

I don't see a pic.
But based on your description alone it sounds like you are describing a plate scratch.

If it looks like a black eyelash or so, there was a thread about it on PSA's message board a few months ago. I would call it a recurring print defect.

I had never heard of this, but a quick search finds a thread on it dating back to 2017. I think, due to the insane popularity of the 89UD Griffey now, that this will finally take off as an error card. Yes, it's just a print defect, but that didn't stop the Frank Thomas NNOF or Frank House Yellow Tiger.
I'm grabbing a couple.

I don't think it will become valuable. It's just not interesting, and doesn't have a history of being chased after or looked for.

You’re probably right, John. Although I did notice the 1990 Upper Deck Griffey without the copyright line on the back has skyrocketed. One just sold for $1600+ last week. I paid $400 or so for mine a couple months ago (both PSA 10s). Although that is a more glaring error than the little line on the ‘89.

With the rise in prices has this type of error gained in value? If so any idea of current value? I found these a few months ago when going through stuff I had not seen in a very long time.
The UD is a Don Baylor card with the Griffey overprint on the back. The Star card has the Durham Bulls Brian Deak overprint on the back. Kinda cool because both cards are #9 The front has at least 2 overprints. One is upside down and the other is a Jose Canseco card the correct direction.
