Card Identification Forum

I ran into this 1997 Bowman card that has no player name or "Bowman" on the front of the card.  Turns out is is #95 Chris Fussell.
How often does this happen....and does it do anything for the value of the card?

More often than you would think. Accept for hard core player collectors that would want the card pretty much no value as it is looked upon as a printing flaw rather than an error card.

Names were done in foil only, no printing beneath it. So, if a sheet missed the foil stamping machine, "NNOF" (no name on front). In this case, as already stated, it's simply a printing flaw, and not an error (where in the case of the 1990 Topps Frank Thomas where Topps went back and had to change the way the cards were printed and is therefore classified as an error). You may find a player or team collector who wants the card and it might fetch a small premium. But you'll probably not see life-changing money for it. :)
