I'd like to thank you, too. It completed the Clark rainbow for me:

Congratulations [MENTION=10901]Spike[/MENTION] ! I'm jealous. ..I need the matte / silver version. Hmmm....I wonder if these variations exist in 96 fleer update too...

Nice run Joel, thought about going for it, but couldn't pull the trigger. Glad you added it.

Unfortunately, [MENTION=13026]aanewport[/MENTION] didn't have a gold Butler, but I appreciate him looking for me. Luckily, Burbank listed one the other day, so I snapped it up. Paid more than I would have liked ($20), but I'm not at all upset at being able to cross a really tough variation off the list. Like most of us know all too well, some of these variations are literally never seen (and it's not for lack of looking) - this was one of those cards. That gives me a complete 5-card 'rainbow', unless there is a gold foil Dodgers set variation. <shudder>

I know of the gold and silver Tiffany versions and the gold and silver matte versions, but what is the fifth version?

Some players have team set variations. The sets are 20 cards.

Do you happen to know if mattingly has a team set variation?

It doesn't look like the Yankees had a team set as per baseballcardpedia: http://www.baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/1996_Fleer_Team_Sets

The COMC sales history for these sets corroborates that: http://www.comc.com/Cards,sr,=1996+fleer+team+sets,oo,i100

I am sure that this is just a simple printing error but does anyone know much about them. Anyone have there guy? Here is the link to the one I picked up of Puckett.

I know this is an old thread and I am brand new to this forum. But does anyone have a sense of how rare the gold foil Tiffany's are? 10, 20 of each player? I know Bill Pulsipher personally and was looking into his rarest card and didn't know if this might be it. Which is a good Segway to.... Any idea which print run was the scarcest in the mid to late 90s? I find the 1997 Skybox Circa Rave cards numbers to 150. But that's the only low numbered set I could find. Told Bill I'd try to figure out what his rarest Mets card is.

I bought one box of 1996 Fleer when it came out.

Every pack had one gold foil Tiffany and every base card in the box had silver foil instead of the gold foil.

I was under the impression the Tiffany per pack card had silver foil and that the gold was rare.

I took a look at a list of Bill Pulsipher cards and I'd say these are the most rare:

1997 Circa Rave (numbered/150) and 1996 Leaf Signature Platinum Press Proof (stated print run of 150)
1997 Pinnacle Inside Diamond Edition - no stated print run but it has to be way below 150, based on how hard cards from this set are to find I'd guess somewhere around 50 of each if even that high
1999 Fleer Tradition Starting 9, serial numbered/9
1997 New Pinnacle Printing Plates - 8 plates that are 1/1's, 4 colors each for front and back

I'm not an expert on the 1996 Tiffany Golds but I doubt they're as rare as the Starting 9 or the plates.

I have no idea, but that’s cool! LGM!
