Card Identification Forum

 This is card 174. Is it worth it to add it as an error ?  If so, can Admin insert it into the set.

This is probably a promo rather than an error. While I don't know for sure, that is my guess based on how UD did things in basketball and NASCAR.

A couple points:

1 - This could just be a printing flaw. In which case, admin has stated they are not listed.

2 - This could be an unscrupulous seller altering a card. If you take a regular pencil eraser to most cards, you can actually erase the ink off it (especially the fronts of the older Topps cards). I actually sold a card to someone (on ebay) that had major ink splots on the front (1978 Topps), and they took an eraser to it and called it a "fade mark" and sold it for about 8x what I sold it for. I'm not sure about UD ink. But, the surface is about the same. If the eraser is rubbed lightly, it's hard to tell it was erased.

3 - I doubt UD was using Kravchuk for promo material. I think they were using Gretzky and Yzerman back then.

I agree with Dan. It would appear to be nothing more than a printing error, especially since the UD and NHLPA logos tend to be below the picture, not on top.
