I guess the biggest problem with the Littlefield error is that since it was just John Littlefield, no one cared...then or now. Apparently Mr. Conlon actually managed to drain a ton of them from the market and STILL no one cared or noticed (at least not in the mainstream hobby). I guess these will stay a novelty in the market of those with loads of money to drop. I'm really surprised the lot went for as much as it did. I bet the buyer will be hard pressed to make much of a profit on them down the line.

101 error cards?

101+ of anything shouldnt be considered Rare.

All of the thousands of 1975 cards I bought were Mini's. To us (NorCal) the larger 1975 cards were rare :)

crazy $$ for modern $#!*
