RE: The official BMB Error Variation discussion and reference thread!
i know this an OLD thread , but it popped up when i was looking around for some info on one or two old variations and i noticed the last post was actually a semi-recent one so figured i'd try to post and see what happens....if the message goes through and this thread can either be revived or even better completely RENEWED , i'll try to contribute some more variation info that i didn't see already posted here when i read through it all last week....
from post 116 :
I found these while going through my 91 fleer Greenwell's...Notice how one has the coloring on the career totals and one is white.Anybody have these from 91?Also check the one on the left at the bottom has 3 periods at the end,the one on the right has only 1 period.
i'm sure most of us already know that many cards have the seasonal stats grouped together differently for some cards and some have minor differences in the text as well....the poster notes that the career totals are in a colored line vs a white line...it's actually easier than that...if you look back at his scans , you'll notice the card on the left has a gap below the blue line just above the stat category headings while the one on the right has no gap between the blue line and the stat headings....from my personal experience , i think all individual player cards feature this variation which i simply refer to as gap before stats or no gap before stats....all the cards that fall into the "no gap" category will have the career total stats in a colored band because all the text is simply shifted up by one line.....
from post #283 in reference to the collector's choice stick ums....
Has anybody mentioned the numberless '97 UD Collectors Choice?
all the numbered stick ums (1-30) are the hobby inserts.....the un-numbered stick ums are the retail inserts with a total set size of 28....
from post #334 regarding 1994 upper deck electric diamonds :
Sorting my Albert Belle cards and came across this one: 1994 Upper Deck Electric Diamond with and without the TM next to "electric":
check all your 1993 fantasy team subset cards from ....at least so far , i've found ALL my fantasy team subset cards HAVE the TM included ...in fact i have not seen the TM on ANY other card in the set and while sorting a batch tonight , i found NO fantasy team subset cards WITHOUT the TM...when i go back through my partial set i'll be on the lookout for these and will update here with my findings....
from post #366 (and discussed further in posts #367 , #370 , and #381) regarding watermarks on the backs of 1992 donruss....
1992 Donruss with and without the Donruss "watermark" on the rear. Of the thousands of Donruss cards I've looked at, this Thomas is the only one I've seen without the "watermark."
i just started looking for it , but so far from the follow-up comments as well as my own experience , it seems to be a very rare occurrence (though i do have another 5000-count box of 1992 donruss here i can sift through to check for more).....in sorting my player lots for sale , i've only found one other instance of it thus far although it was not a 1992 card.....mine is a 1993 donruss #553 ken griffey jr....i don't know if it's simply a missed step in the printing process as someone suggested or if it a legit variation , but in either case , if they are as rare as they appear to be it may be well worth searching all those 1992 and 1993 donruss (and 1992 leaf) common boxes....i can only imagine the potential sales figures for a few certain players ....
came back to add two more that i didn't have time to mention this morning....
1995 donruss.....not sure if it affects all cards or if this variation is limited but i have a handful of base cards with the regular silver foil highlights on the front whose backs feature the gold "1st 2000 printed" banner that should be found only on the press proofs....
2002 bowman....base cards are standard thickness....the gold parallels are approximately twice as thick.....i opened about a dozen boxes when the product was new and 4-5 more since....i ran into a rather unusual variation on the gold parallels in either one or two boxes.....in the effected box(es) every VETERAN gold card was the standard double thickness , but the facsimile signature was black (like the basis cards) instead of gold....pretty sure these variations were neither intentional or extremely plentiful and so far i've never found one from the blue prospects portion of the set.....

I collect almost anyone else with ties to the state of South Carolina (especially ANY SC Gamec0cks) , + most parallels and rare 90's inserts
