I think that is all that I know of or can verify. If any one can add, that would be great.

Here is a picture for the 1990 Donruss Splatter variations. The majority of the cards I had were like the one on the left and only had 2 of the right one.

Picked up two sets of these in the early '90s in the Philadelphia area. I was told there were about 50 sets printed this way with 1991 Fleer football on the front and 1991 Fleer baseball on the back. No idea if he was correct. I think it was just one sheet so there really isn't a complete set per se.

Not counting the saw cuts, there's 4 Black Scribble variations. Loop, Lite Loop and F showing. Here's the 4th. It was lacking a name, so we called it the Circle Scribble as the lines appear to go in a circle. I know of one uncut and around 5 saw cuts of this version in existance. Happy Hunting..

Looking through some more of my McGee collection I noticed the 1990 Topps Big also can be found with multiple print destinations on the back as noted by the D* vs C* in the copyright line.

Beckett lists this one as an uncorrected error, but I just noticed it was corrected in the factory set.

I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me out with this. I have 2 cards from 2002 Bowman (Alex Herrera and Alexis Gomez) that have silver foil stamping on them instead of the regular gold. I opened a lot of this product, but these are the only two silver foiled cards I ever found. Is this just a simple error, or actually something worth mentioning?

Are there any known variations for the 1998 Score Showcase cards? I'm asking because I have two identical Scott Rolen Showcase cards, except one is numbered 68 (same number as his base), and the other is numbered PP29. Other than the card #, both cards are identical, right down to the yellow Showcase Series logo on the back. I have a very vague recollection of this back when the cards came out, but it never shows up on any variations list. I'm really hoping this is gonna be something stupidly rare or cool (got it at the same time I picked up my Rolen 05 DK non-canvas /20 for a dime :D )

Interesting, looks like they screwed up the numbering on your showcase card. The one #'d to 68 should be the base. Do you have scans of the front and back? I will have to start looking at my cards now to see if I can find any errors as well.

The fronts are both identical; the same silver foil that all the 1998 Showcases use.

I have a Ryan Klesko Showcase that's numbered 30 instead of PP10. As soon as I figure out where I've got it stored I'll scan that one as well.
