Hi Chris,

With older sets in the database, does Beckett have any sort of notes or source material to indicate where the initial information came from? Specifically in the older baseball sets, is there any evidence to support the 1991 MVP Pins set is a separate entity from the 1991 Major League Collector Pins set (from the Ace Novelty Company)? None of the big time, deep-pocketed player collectors (y'know, like the Juan Gonzalez, Jose Canseco, Rickey Henderson and Will Clark collectors who aren't shy about dropping $100+ for odd printing variations of early 1990s cards) have a standalone pin from 1991, they only have the pin that comes with a 1991 Score card. As far as I can tell, only the 1992 edition was issued as pin, without a baseball card.

I have a similar question about a couple of the "error" cards in the 1990 Classic Blue set. The Ricky Jordan (supposedly with his name spelled "Jordon" on the back) and Hensley Meulens (supposedly spelled "Muelens") errors don't seem to exist, and look to have been carried over from the 1989 set where those two errors did exist. I've opened multiple copies of both the "corrected" set (with the Deion PRIME TIME Sanders card on front) and the "error" set (with just PRIME TIME on the front), but neither has an error version of Ricky Jordan or Hensley Meulens. That being the case, where does the justification for listing those two errors originate?

Thanks!

The older set blurb details were done at that time -- when they were fresh. Those who were here -- along with their materials referenced for those items -- are long gone. It's quite possible that the Classic notations are incorrect -- yet, again, that info and those who did that work aren't here.

just received a 2013 topps auto of David Justice for a replacement from topps redemp. it said that these cards can not be obtained through shops or hobby boxes. u think Beckett will have a price for this guy. thanks

If Topps can provide a checklist of the cards that were created, we will catalog them. Once a certain volume of sales are seen, they will be priced.
