Have you seen or met someone who owns a dual dufex version? This is the first I've heard of this possible variation. From my experience, when I was searching for a dufex-sided Griffey between 1995-2000, I only came across one-sided versions and in my encounters, never heard from any dealer/collector about a dual-sided. However, this would be a pretty cool variation.

Very interesting. Have you seen or know of any other players with multiple copies of their Masterpiece from 1998 Ultra? What about '99 or '00?
I'm aware of the 1998 Fleer Showcase Row 0 uncut sheets being backdoored and tampered with; looks like the same may have happened with this set, which seems likely given that it occurred in the basketball set.
Also, what if one of these was a damage replacement that was actually printed but backdoored? Would enjoy hearing your theories.

I've been on-again-off-again collecting him since 1996 or so. This was one of those cards that I figured I'd never see in my lifetime but would have absolutely fought for it if it were to have come up. Was hoping someone here grabbed it and was willing to part with it.

Are you collecting his 98 Teks? If so, the 1998 Tek thread can help.

I wasn't aware of a variation to begin with. I thought one side had foil and the other did not. So basically Bagwell has two versions...plus possibly a third?

i was fairly sure that these have been discussed at length in the past with the consensus being that there was actually only one version per card and that the dufex-back version listed by beckett didn't actually exist - let alone a double-dufex version....
Variation 1: Griffey dufex/bonds foil
Variation 2: Griffey foil/bonds dufex
Variation 3??
The same should apply to Bagwell/Thomas.
There are definitely 2 versions of the Griffey/bonds bc I have both - one version with a dufex-sided Griffey and another with a dufex-sided bonds. I can't speak about the other players, bc I don't have other copies besides the Griffey/bonds, but I would assume the same applies to all others also.
Anyone else heard of/seen a double-sided dufex?

Anybody else see this auction? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-Bowman...1502374849?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item20f232e3c1
If the story is true and not bogus makes you wonder how many atomics were botched. More likely, sig was rubbed but I'd think a faded auto would still net more than this sale.

Here are the old COMC images from when I purchased them in February of 2010. I love that they save pictures.

I just finished my 97-99 Derek Jeter Legacy Collection. The pic does not give these cards justice!

Cool. Didn't know about this. Thanks the pics!
I have both versions of the Ripken/Smith so I can confirm those two variations exist for that card as well. I've never seen a dual-sided dufex of any player combo. However, I first heard of their possible existence from a collector many years ago who specialized in rare oddballs, variations, test issues and errors. The memory is a little fuzzy at this point, but he had reason to believe at least some of the cards were produced with dufex on both sides possibly as a proof of sorts...one card to demonstrate the dufex finish for both players vs. having two separate proof cards. I didn't really think much about it at the time to ask for more details, why he believed they existed, etc. It's only now, after years of fruitless searching, that I wish I did ask more questions and am starting to think something like this may not exist. I figure if the collective expertise of this board has never heard/seen a dual-sided dufex variation, then it would probably make sense to remove it from my checklist until proof would surface.

I do have that one already in the PC but appreciate the heads up before it went to eBay
Also, I would change the title of your listing because there is an E at the end of BELL

Showed up yesterday. I can't believe I went this long without the Row 0.
