1995-96 Collector's Choice English II Basketball Forum

OK, that one I've got nothing on. Sorry!

Hello, I thought I would add my piece to this in case someone finds it useful.

In my collection only the Photo Gallery cards are affected by this mistake - just like reinair's Anfernee Hardaway card.

I've currently got 14 Photo Gallery cards (including duplicates) and 5 of them are affected by this mistake so I would guess from my limited sample size it was quite common.

#185 Gary Payton

As to what could caused this I don't know!

It kind of reminds me of when I was a kid using a PC for my homework in the late 90s. I thought I was being clever using an attractive, fancy font but then when the teacher would open up my work and they didn't have the same font on their system it would get replaced with wingdings!

Edit: My image links broke so I went back through this old post to fix them

That's exactly what it looks like; font replacement.  Looks like they were replaced with Dingbats U+271x

 

Thanks C2Cigars! 

So, this is a case of ERR and COR, correct?  The ERR being "Dingbat font card number".  Are all 9 Photo Gallery cards affected?

Ah I see, I wouldn’t have thought of that!😀

I’m really a novice at this hobby so will gladly take advice from TCDB community experts such as yourself about ERR and COR cards. I think as I have Level 6 permissions (and will be at Level 6 for the foreseeable future) I will need to raise an Admin request for this because editing a Checklist to add new entries requires Level 8 permissions I believe.

It is my running belief that this Dingbat font error is limited to the Photo Gallery cards. But I can only say for certain I have seen:

• #185 Gary Payton (my card above)
• #186 Mookie Blaylock (my card above)
• #187 Charles Barkley (my card above)
• #188 Grant Hill (my card above)
• #189 Anfernee Hardaway (reinair’s card above)
• #190 Kenny Anderson (Personally not seen before)
• #191 Mark Jackson (Personally not seen before)
• #192 Karl Malone (my card above)
• #193 Avery Johnson (a card currently on comc.com for sale showing this error, I won’t post the image here just in case as it has the comc.com watermark)

So 7 out of 9 I can be sure of. In my request to add the ERR and COR to the Checklist, am I right that I should only request it for these 7? Thanks.
