ISO of help. Error is pretty obvious as there is NO FRONT at all!! Have looked as far as I could into any errors for this card and seems this is the only one? Card was recently pulled from an unopened pack of a lot that I received from my grandmother years after her passing. Really interested to know if I should send off to PSA....

Blank fronts and backs from Topps products from 1986-1991 are pretty common. Search eBay for 1990 Bowman blank front and you will get a lot of results. Kruk Cards used to sell this kind of thing by the case.

Absolutely no monetary value.

Appreciate the insight. Did notice quite a few blank front errors listed. And seems not worth sending to get graded even though it's new out the package.

Grading would basically mean you are paying like $20 for PSA to turn a $0.50 card into a $5 card.

1990 Bowman Blank Front cards are very common. Unfortunately, aside from Frank Thomas, are mostly worthless beyond interest to player collectors.

None of the major grading companies will grade this card as it is a factory defect, in this case, likely printer's scrap.
