1995 Score Baseball Forum

While my dad was stationed in Puerto Rico from 94-96, I bought a hobby box of 95 score. I remember very clearly where I bought it and how much it was. While going through packs, I came across this card and put it away just in case it was rare. I had never seen an cards without print on the front. Well, fast forward to now and I'm going through a ton of old cards, found this one in a box.

I can't find anything online about any error cards in 1995 Score. This card has no printing on the front at all. It is supposed to be a Gold Rush card, as indicated on the back.

Does anyone have any information about a print issue with this set, or with this card in particular?

Thanks

This happens at that times during the printing process where a sheet does not go through the printing press for the other side.  It is the first time I see where the front is the image missing but other than that it is a printing error and not listed here.  These types of errors show up in all companies and all years, by chance. There is a niche market of collectors who look for these type of printing errors.

I found a second one in the same box.  Also a Gold Rush card.  #195  Mike Stanley.  No printing on the front.

Just kind of cool to see, I guess.

If you got it from a sealed pack this way, it is a manufacturing error. If it was from a box or not from a pack, then the card is damaged. The foil front on these cards is very thin and is prone for the glue to become weak and the front can come off. A lot of cards from Score and other companies of the 90s have this issue.

These were from hobby packs. I have a bunch of the Gold Rush cards that are perfect. This is the way the cards were when I opened the packs back then. Just forgot I even had them until I ran across them again.

At that point, I wasn't worried about set building and my collection was team based. So I have a ton of team stuff I'm going through. To give you an idea of how out of it I've been over the last +25 years.. I'll be sending in a stack of rookies cards for grading I didn't know I had!
