Minor errors worth noting?

I was sorting through my cards from this set & noticed three possible UERs. They are not egregious enough to prevent a user from finding or identifying the card, but they do represent errors created by the card manufacturer.

109 Jamal Anderson - College: "UTAH" (should be "Utah", not in all caps like UCLA or UTEP)

142 Jake Plummer - NFL exp. "Draft choice" (should be "Draft Pick" like all the others in the set)

242 Kevin Lockett - NFL exp. "2 yrs" (should be "Draft Pick", he was a rookie in 1997)

I'm posting both to gauge necessity & confirm that these are just UERs, not ERR/COR instances.

My opinion:

109 - Technically, correct, just stylized?

142 - Wording choice, still technically correct

242 - Factually incorrect - worth noting

I also agree with Dan and Chuck about all 3 cards. Only the Lockett card should be a UER, IF there isn't a corrected version.

Thanks for the second (third & fourth) opinions. I have added the UER to Lockett only. My 1st & Ten cards came from the "Special Collectors" set, which included a 1998 Super Bowl insert, so I figure those cards were produced and/or packed after the regular hobby/retail boxes - therefore, if not corrected by then, then not likely an ERR/COR candidate.

I personally think that all teams need to be all caps. It just shows it in a different light. But that is just me ------------------------------- When life has you down buy a pack of cards and realize you overpaid.
