Does 1995 Emotion have variations in the words on front?

I picked these up today:

Every other copy of the Ripken I can find says "Class", and you can see a faint "Class" under the "Learning" on the one on the left. I can't find any other word variations on the 1995 Emotions on COMC, so what's the deal with this?

I've seen an error McGwire too. I periodically check for an incorrect Will Clark. It's a pretty cool variation.

AAAHH
Smells like: CLOWNS

I've read this before but it never stops being funny (or in Jim Dougherty's case, absolutely terrifying)!

Checked all the cards on COMC. Found one foil error. Bought it since it was a star and $1. He's a "Dominating Warrior!"

Guess I did a pretty poor job of checking COMC!

Assuming these are simply just foiling errors, it stands to reason that there's at least one full sheet like this. Maybe the sheet was shifted up/down (or left/right) exactly one card, and Fleer did the name foil and the description foil at different times? Or maybe they changed their minds on what certain players would have on their cards? I'm intrigued, even though this is probably just a screw-up.

That the printed drop shadow under the foil stays consistent tells me they didn't change their minds on words. The foil roll was just misaligned with the paper roll when printing.

Not sure if more than one guy has the same theme, but Dave Winfield was "Warrior" and Micah Franklin was "Learning"...

I'd like to see an uncut sheet of these to see where these cards are in relation to each other. Probably make it easier to find what other cards are like this.

I have never seen a Griffey with a different saying it's always Junior.
Did you by chance pick up a Mcgwire Smooth? I would take that off your hands:D..

Thanks for the link. Good read. I never knew how ridiculous this set is.

I've been searching for that variation for years. Jay still has the only one I've seen.

Printing error... but please, please read this article about this set. I laughed so hard I was choking. So funny!! Probably one of the funniest things I have ever read on the internet. Classic!

There was lots of funny stuff, I especially like how they made the one guy straining one year, and hurling the next.

I don't think they were trying to be racist with the Gwynn card. Rickey...... well, he's not necessarily well spoken. And he's not as famous for his smarts as he is for hanging a million dollar check on the wall for a year before realizing it was a real check and he needed to put it into the bank to turn it into actual money. Anyway, I'm not saying he's dumb, but....

That's pushing it a bit! It's probably better than his next one...
