For the final time...

This is a legit error card.



This is a gimmick card.



And this... The jury is still out on.



Got it? Good.

What do you mean by final time? Yesterday this was a Joe Collector gimmick card and today it is an error? I'm so confused.

There's no such thing as a legit error card from Topps these days!

Tom the Ripper said...

wait, so there are Fukyoudome green bordered RC's in BC without that "not valid" box?

what's the card number of the gimmick?

Tom the Ripper,

Yes there are KosFu RC without the "NOT VALID" on the back.

Here's another way you can tell the difference. The KosFu RC has a facsimile sig on the front. The KosFu error -- the ones with the "NOT VALID" -- have no facsimile sig.

I think the most hilarious thing is that Fukudome is actually a pretty lousy MLB baseball player and I can't see his cards holding a lot of value down the road.

I'm with sruchris. Topps has lost the right to the benefit of the doubt on this. They don't seem to bother fixing any of their other errors, just the Joba and Fukudome ones.
