1998 Collector's Choice Baseball Forum

Hi all,

Attached is a comparison of two 1998 Collector's Choice cards for Ryne Sandberg. I'm familiar with the one on the left (normal grey border). Haven't come across the one on the left with the white borders. Backs look identical. Any thoughts or insight?

I am just guessing but I would say 1998 team set

Not sure if there was a Cubs Team Set (we don't have one listed as of now), but it likely wouldn't have been #55 ... somewhere #1-13 instead. Could they have replaced the silver border card with a white one in the factory set? I know the factory set changed one of the cards so Kerry Wood was included.

Could it just be a printing mistake where the grey wasn't printed?

The diamond hologram on the back indicates it was from a factory set, but the silver border has a diamond too. Could there have been different factory set types, like silver was Hobby and white was Retail?
