1990 ProCards Baseball Forum

I have a card for Bob Ayrault - card no #1211.  On the current list in TCDB, it is showing #1211 for Andy Ashby and #1212 for Bob Ayrault (although a different picture of him.  Since the scan for #1211 & #1212 shows Elby's Big Boy on the back and mine doesn't, does this mean that my card is the actual ProCards set?  I'm really confused as the card # being different.

I'm hoping the scan is attached - using a new scanner and not sure how it works

Well, I can't figure how to attacj tje scanned picture from my computer to here but mine is exactly how this one in eBay looks.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/275631624622?hash=item402cecd1ae:g:A-cAAOSwJ7BjyKz~

#1212 with the Elby's Big Boy ad on the back is from the actual ProCards team set.

#1211 is from the CMC Pre-Rookie set where they teamed with ProCards and issued reworked versions of the wood-grained team sets for the A & AA players.

The CMC versions of the cards have a high gloss coating the ProCards team set versions lack (but which you can't see in a scan), often the photos are different, and the CMC versions have the smaller number in the lower right corner that is the actual numbering for the CMC set.  

These get confused a lot, which is understandable given how the set is designed.  Similar confusion comes from the CMC team sets vs the CMC Pre-Rookie, pack-issued sets.  Same fronts, but different backs.

Thanks for your response and clear explanation.  Found the CMC set.  It is very confusing especially since CMC is not shown on the cards themselves. Thanks again

I'm just trying to figure out how to scan a trading card onto this message board.  Hopefully this will work as an url link.  No need to answer.
