So can anyone tell me with almost 100% certainty "exactly" how many of these cards /199 were produced? ;)

Did the surface get an 8 because of the incorrect numbering?

also, the numbering just looks messed up, the one '0' looks like an '8'

Wow I'm sure you can get a couple extra bucks from that. Take it out of the slab

If those folks at Topps were responsible for making anything other than cardboard with pictures on it...Houston - we would have a very big problem. Can you imagine? Is it really that difficult to:
1. Center a picture
2. Serial # something properly
3. Proof read material so errors would be a rare thing
I'm going to stop there and allow other members to add to the list. Picking up where I left off at #3. I wonder how high the list can get?

Probably because they never could sign Strasburg?

I can tell you do not know much about the printing process of cards. Considering the mass volume produced and the work involved with cards I think mistakes are fairly uncommon.

A Stanton 2010 orange ref ended at $99. It didn't reach the reserve. It was 26/25

On the right-hand side, about one-third of the way down, almost on the edge, you can see a blemish of some sort. I think that is why the surface is an 8.

I knew this card wouldn't be a gem, but I wanted the "200/199" designation on the label. :)!

I wonder if Beckett would put a value on this Stanton card since they typically only leave prices off those cards with 25 copies or less. ;)

Yep, not quite "WC" worthy. ;)

Not sure if I can part with it though.
