1990 Pro Set Football Forum

According to change log, a color variation was added just over a week ago

for card 39:

Now the issue with this type of variation is typically that the normal version (the a in this case) are just as they appear, the red parts are red and the black parts are black. On the b variation, what this typicall is either everything is printed in red or black on first pass, and then second pass is another color. In all of the instances of the cards that have either the red or black headers/etc they all are red printing with black on top.

I had made a master list in the past for this set but I had given up on trying to complete that set because it is basically impossible, and that I didn't want to have up to 4 copies of every card in an 800 card set. There are many cards that have the same variation as the one mentioned above and I have a feeling that this type of variation is not valid for TCDB, especially since there are hundreds of printing errors that exist in this set that are not tracked on the checklist, such as the broken stat line issues, name alignment printing errors, or the cards of the Jets players that have pink on the team banner instead of white, and many others.

I have made inquiries to get a list of how many cards have the red/black stat headers printing error and hope to post that information soon.

Not sure if the VARs will be allowed to stay or not, but advice to anyone adding VARs for any set .... Please put the "a" and "b" in the secondary box, not in the main one. The box appears when you put "VAR: " into Note2.

I have an update for the availability. Now the scan of the 39b "looks" like it has black stat headings... but you can slightly see the black+red on the word year and team. If 39b is indeed only black stat headings, that means that the third variation is missing from the DB which is the one with black+red stat headings.

Another is also listed in the DB. The 626 Rod Woodson with red or red+black headings:

And 607 Wes Hopkins with red or red+black headings:

Not in the DB is the 644 Dave Waymer with red+black headings, only the correctly printed one.

I will see if I can find my own master list and look at the errors I had recently taken out of my own binders to see if I can find the others.
