Do you think that a card company would make an error card on purpose? Lets see what happens when collectors find out there is an error card in a product. People go crazy, search for more information about that specific product, and then go buy a lot of it hoping they too can pull that popular card. Error cards mean more sales for the company. It happens every single year, and collectors act surprised every time. A lot of the times these “errors” pop out of products like 2008 Topps. A product that is meant for set collectors. I think that they put these “errors” in a huge set like this because they can use the excuse that, “Its a large set, and there is bound to be some errors to get out”. They do this because it brings a ton of attention to a product that may not be as popular as another where you can get a lot of hits. Recently, these cards haven’t really been errors. Its not like they forgot to take something out of the picture. Its more like, they made a card that shouldn’t have been made…….. at all. I can understand small things here and there in a large set, but why would you make a card that wasn’t meant for the set in the first place. I think card companies are starting to play mind games with collectors. Collectors have had enough with these gimmick cards.
