1990 Topps Error (Frank Thomas)

A multi-talented hitter, Frank Thomas is a National Baseball Hall of Famer and was one of the greatest stars of the MLB in the 1990s. During the decade, the Frank Thomas Topps card was the most valuable. However, this card is not a regular one since it has a specific error – the card does not come with Thomas’ name on the front. Actually, this error is the reason the card is worth so much money. The card can pull in an amount that is four or five figures.
