After all these years, I still haven't found/seen the NHL McGwire, only found these:

174 - correct
174 - 1990 style
174 - diamond
174 - no hologram

656 - correct
656 - 1990 style

Link to all of them:

I made this back on the Beckett boards way back in the day for reference once jacksonscoupage showed me them.

I'll update your reports. Thanks for posting that image, probably the best out there!

One of the main reasons I started this thread is because I've started to suspect that all four (or five) hologram types may not exist for each player and that there may even be a sequence or pattern to which subjects/numbers received what holograms. Hopefully enough people will chime in and flesh out a better idea on this odd variety.

I wouldn't be surprised if what you are saying is correct. I've only found those two of 656 and I've been looking forever. If it also helps, the '91 and the diamond are very common for #174 but the '90 (only found 1) and no holo (only seen 4) are extremely rare. Same with the 656, the correct is widespread but the '90 is very rare (only found 2)

Also, I just checked and confirmed, I have the '90-91 NHL type for #174 right here. PM me your address and I'll send it your way.

I started getting salt n' pepper hair because of my search for this card. PM sent!!

Bookmarking. BTW...you come across any Bagwell variations, I'd need them. Willing to pay.

I just went thru a 5000 ct box of these and found over 400 of the '90 Baseball Holo's.
The vast majority of them were between the #'s of 600 thru 700.
I'm pretty sure that all of these came out of a low number case.

81 Glenn Davis (Pieced together 1991 hologram)
145 John Olerud (has "90" in hologram)

640 Rich Rodriguez (has "90" in hologram)
644 Mike Bell (Pieced together 1990 hologram)
666 Mickey Hatcher
684 Dave Schmidt

Also found these:

I have a few hundred total variations, many of which are 90/91 NHL holograms. More importantly, I discovered a sixth variation!! There is a 91 MLB reverse negative hologram. I will post a photo this week, but it's the 91 logo as if you looked at it in a mirror. After purchasing almost 2000 Wes Chamberlain cards, I have found 21 '90 MLB holograms, 2 '91 MLB reverse negative, and 1 '90 Comic Ball. I'm desperate for a '92 MLB and 90/91 NHL, and will trade any variation for it including Chipper!


Looking for Wes Chamberlain rare cards, variations, game used items, etc.

Here is my list of 1991 Upper Deck '90 Comic Ball hologram variations (hardest to find of the original 5 variations, for me):

677 Robin Ventura/Carlton Fisk

Click to expand...

I do not have anything Chamberlain but I'd be interested in trading for the Ventura if it is the Comic Ball type.

Thanks.

Here's a photo of the Ventura/Fisk card with the '90 Comic Ball hologram. What hologram variations do you have to trade?

Love threads like this, so I unpiled the closet full of monster boxes and fished out the box with about 800 1991 Upper Deck.

Found the following "1990 Baseball" versions:

692 John Farrell
690 Jim Gott
681 Mike Marshall
671 Pascual Perez
659 Dan Gladden
657 Joe Grahe
654 Alex cole
647 Ken Hill
644 Mike Bell
643 Carlton Fisk
518 Dave Hollins

No Hologram

397 Steve Frey

Found several cards that have a hologram that I didn't see in this thread (maybe I missed it) - Upper Deck in foreground with Large 90 in the background

62 Tim Costo
58 Gary Scott
51 Kyle Abbott
44 Kelly Gruber
25 Steve Decker
23 Andujar Cedeno
19 Charles Nagy

Just realized I have all 5 original hologram variations (not including the '91 MLB reserve negative) for #469 Sil Campusano. Does anyone else have all 5 (or 6) for one player?

Want to move the Hendersons?
