The picture of the card front is not a joke, it is completely blank. The back of the card looks like any other #333.
I believe I picked this up in an auction a number of years ago. Has anyone seen one of these, and what the value might be?
Thanks for any help. This is my first post; I hope I did it properly.

A printing error. Very common for Topps cards in the late 1980s to early 1990s (along with blank backs). Of no particular value except to a novelty error collector.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Well, that said, of the 306 entries for that card in eBay, none of them are blank. I bet some error collector would be interested, especially given the quality of the player. Pulling a number from a dark orafice, I bet you get get over $30 bucks for it.
A weird error Kyle Kendrick card got me $75 once. I was shocked.

That's an interesting point V-Cubed. I wonder if anyone else out there seen one of these before?

A print error on a notable rookie is always worth investigating. Biggest issue with error cards is not knowing how common it may have occurred. With late 80s early 90s there were lots of these but no way to know how many Chpper Jones may exist. I think V3 is right that someone may pay something for it. Someone may want it hoping it is one of a kind.

I have sold many of these "printing errors" in lots. For example, I have team lots of all wrongbacks or fronts, etc. And yes, interested player collectors do find these cards interesting for their collection. A rarity? For instance, if you collect Troy Aikman cards, I have a blank front card somewhere, I have only seen this 1 other time, the card fetched $25. Everybody has their own collecting style, ~BOB~
