1996 Fleer Matte finish/foil question

[heavy_hitter]

Ruben started out 1996 on the Yanks before he was traded as part of the Cecil Fielder deal.

Did the Yanks give him a WS ring? I know he fell out of favor with Torre that year.

It's funny you asked that. Before I decided on a card to have signed I have a Beckett magazine with a bunch of '96 guys on the cover and I thought about maybe adding Sierra to it and decided not to for that reason. I do not know if he got a ring. Maybe that will keep me busy tonight at work trying to find that info out.

1996 Fleer comes in 4 different variations:

-Base: matte finish, gold foil lettering
-Base: matte finish, silver foil lettering (rare, unless you hit a full box at once like mentioned in this thread)
-Tiffany; glossy finish, holographic/rainbow foil lettering
-Tiffany; glossy finish, gold foil lettering (very rare)

That is accurate.

When I opened my full box of base (with matte finish, silver foil lettering), the tiffany card in each pack had a glossy finish with gold foil lettering.

Yikes. Another rare 90's variation to chase. Oh well, may as well add them to my list. Aficionado FPP made sure I'd finish 1996 anyways.

I found the box of 1996 Fleer. To clarify, the box was a 36 count retail box and not a hobby box as I originally thought.

All of the base cards were the printing variations (matte finish with silver foil lettering).

I'm wondering whether the fact that the cards were retail had anything to do with the printing variations.

Any Henderson?

Thanks for checking.

Any Trammells in there?

I already have the bobby higginson, and I always just believed them to be misprints, but maybe they are hobby/retail variants.

I'm searching for one of these matte finish silver foil variations of Kirby Puckett. Please let me know if anyone has one available for sale.

I'll take a mattingly if anyone comes across one

Old thread but happy that when I went through some extras I found a Clark Gold Tiffany , and bought the Silver Base last month for 25% of what last sold for , so I'm done with this variation.
