Is it a Lamination error or is it a Struck Through? I'm thinking it's a Lamination error most likely. What do you guys think? Just want to make sure to label the error correctly before putting it in my collection.

Tough call - I'm leaning to a struck through because it doesn't effect the hair - just the field.

Yes, I could see this identified as a strike through.

I'm inclined to go with a Stuck Through as well.

Strike through. The edges are very rounded in the picture shown, not rough like a delamination tends to be.

While I can't be sure, I'd lean more toward a lamination error. The uppermost of the four horizontal ridges is an extension of the field. It's unlikely that foreign material would be deposited in several separate patches that all line up.

Looks like Team Lamination snagged the number one draft pick and future first ballot hall of fame member right out from under Team Strike Through.

I guess it does affect the hair. Couldn't see that picture very good on my phone last night.
Great info from Mike Diamond!

Definitely a Lamination for sure. I didn't see the tiny piece of the flaky metal near the head until now.
