    Lavar Arrington Error Card?

    I got a box of 2004 Topps Draft Picks and Prospects. The base card of Lavar Arrington says "Rookie Card" at the top. Arrington has been in the league for 4 years. Plus the rookies start around number 115 and the Arrington is 43.

    So if this is an error card, is there any way to check the bv for error cards.

    Nada... it's his Rookie Card with.

    2004 was the first year he signed with the Players Association making it legal to put him on cards. Before that he was never legally supposed to be on cards although a few card companies made some cards of him. Topps has never made a card of him so this is the first... making it his rookie card.

    I have a 99 Press Pass Arrington. What other cards were made of him "illegally"?

    Lavar sued all the card companies that made cards of him, that's why he was quickly pulled out of every product... a few made it on the market (Pacific, Ultra etc)... his cards from this year aren't rookies because the Pacific one was widely available... I could be wrong though... there is a 1st for everything ;)

    Well Beckett doesn't list the 2004 Topps DP&P card as a RC because it wasn't released in his rookie year. But Topps figures that the first card of someone is automatically their RC... rookie year or not.
