    Ending tomorrow. Including a low-pop Topps Embossed. Thanks for looking! https://www.ebay.com/sch/xanaduforrent/m.html?_trksid=p3692 Arthur

    1988 sets make history

    Ahhh, trying to apply today's asinine rookie card parameters to cards from 30 years ago. Call them whatever you want, the market has the final say. For Smoltz and Biggio, the market says 1988. Arthur

    Thanks for being cool about it, Jackson. The funny part is that I've really only seen one half of the equation. All of the unopened I've gone through has been of the early error print runs or of immediately after those errors were corrected. I know enough about the set now to know that E&Vs...

    Outstanding. Thanks, I needed that! I've found my tribe. Thanks for welcoming me in. I can finally come out of the closet as an obsessed 1990 Donruss collector and feel safe. Now I just need to figure out how to tell my parents. Arthur

    This is accurate. I estimate I've spent about $2,000 on 1990 Donruss unopened product. I've purchased and ripped nine 20-box wax cases and I've lost count how many rack cases. This was my choice. I wanted to do this because I was fascinated with this set and its errors as a kid. It's provided...

    Jackson, you're beyond reproach. The work you've done in this area is second to none. Your website is a unique resource for thousands of cards that otherwise would go unknown. I admire both the work you've done and the openness with which you've shared it. You are correct, I was the one who...

    Fresh meat. The Ryan King of Kings has a color variation on the front. The banner and name box can be found in tan (most common) and copper (least common). So far, I've only found the copper with the corrected 665 back. Arthur

    Official Error and Variation Discussion/Reference Thread

    I've spent an embarrassing amount of time and money opening cases, cataloging print runs, louping cards, all the things that I'm sure many of you are familiar with. When all of my bases are covered I'll be happy to share information that would pertain to their (barely-existing?) market. I'm not...

    1996 Leaf Collector's Edition Autographs

    No, regular card size. The two words to the top-left and top-right of his name are Authentic Signature and the factory sets of Collector's Edition mention an autograph included so these are legit, from the factory autograph inserts. Arthur

    1996 Leaf Collector's Edition Autographs

    I should probably add pictures. The cool thing about it is he signed it #8, which obviously wasn't a number he stuck with for long.

    1996 Leaf Collector's Edition Autographs

    Looks like this forum doesn't get much action but I might as well post this, you never know. I recently picked up one of these sets as part of a collection and it came with a Leaf Gold Rookies Marvin Harrison card that I assumed was signed TTM or at a show or something. It was a cool bonus but...

    There are a handful of cards rarer than the Baines. The Baines isn't that tough, there are plenty on eBay right now. One thing that can be said about all of the '90 Donruss E&Vs is that finding them in gem mint condition is very difficult and in many cases downright impossible. To put it into...

    That's interesting. Now I've got to go over all my Baines cards with my loupe. I've been able to identify individual print runs and have created an Excel spreadsheet documenting exactly which version of which cards came in each print run. I've done this through nine 20-box wax cases and...

    I can absolutely see that. They also became common knowledge immediately and caused great buzz for Donruss' release that year. They essentially did everything the No Period INC didn't do. The only one I'm torn on is the Baines Line Through. It wasn't a first run error, its window of release is...

    Official Error and Variation Discussion/Reference Thread

    I think you're giving them WAY too much credit. For one, it's got to be the stupidest variation in all of baseball cards. Secondly, the only reason to deliberately create a variation is to cause buzz about your product -- manufactured rarity to increase demand and therefore sales. If you were...
