Description: The 1988 Topps trading card featuring Bo Jackson is highly sought after by collectors. Specifically, card number 327 from the base set, which shows Bo Jackson with the Los Angeles Raiders, is especially valued by fans of both Bo Jackson and Topps cards. The most common misprints, ink errors, occur during the ink application stage of offset lithographic printing. This mass production method, in contrast to home printers, applies each color layer separately. This card has all 3 Errors. Printer Hickey:A printer hickey is a minor error that happens when a small particle or piece of debris/dust sticks to one of the printing blankets. Hickeys can differ in shape, size, and color, usually identified by a discolored spot encircled by a halo of another color. While there's no official size standard for a hickey to be collectible, those smaller than a mana symbol generally don't garner much interest. Bleeding:Bleeding, a type of error similar to smudging but more notable because it affects one of the color layers, occurs when excess ink is transferred and smeared across the card, resulting in a colored wash effect. This typically affects a portion of the card, and its value depends on the amount of smeared ink that is visible. Blotches & Splotches:Although I cannot specify the difference between a blotch and a splotch, both terms are used to describe this kind of misprint. They occur when an obstruction on the sheet or roller prevents the ink from adhering properly. It's also important to note that these errors can affect multiple cards.
