Error Rookie Cards Make a Comeback

I didn't even know baseball cards were still being made after 1992 but in the tradition of Billy Ripken, a new error card is worth thousands more than it should be.

Topps produced an Alex Gordon rookie card even though the card company made an agreement with Major League Baseball not to produce cards for players that had yet to play in a Major League game and weren't on team's opening day 25 man roster. Gordon did neither for the Kansas City Royals.

His cards were made accidentally and shipped mainly to Wal-Mart's across the country. One kid in Wichita KS, acquired five of the cards and sold them for $5,591. Collector's believe that since Topps caught the mistake early that the Gordon card is extremely rare and almost impossible to find if you were to say, go to Wal-Mart tonight.
