Error Gallery : Missing or Mis-applied UV Coating

UV coating can be the bane of card collectors. If you aren't lucky, it can cause some cards to stick together. It can also look nasty if applied wrong, and I'm not talking about the kind of wrong you'll see here. I'm talking about with divots and bubbles in it, both of which I've seen.

Sometimes they don't apply it at all, when they are supposed to. Sometimes they only get it on half the card, or the wrong half. When it's missing totally it's hard to see in scans.

Most of them I have, you can't see it at all in a scan. Generally, it's missing from a card where it should be there. You basically have to know the set to be able to find it, because if you don't, you might not know that it should be there but isn't.

This Toni Kukoc card, from 2000-01 Fleer Tradition Glossy, is the only one that actually shows it in a scan- out of more than 20 times I've tried to scan this error!

You can see on the UK of Kukoc and the bottom left corner that some of the gloss that was supposed to be applied to the front of the card only made it's way onto the back. The backs in this set are old-school textured cardboard...about the same feel as a cardboard box, in fact. Except for this one.
