How many printing plates for a card?

[excel_B]

Is there 4 different printing plates for a 2009 Bowman Chrome card? Or 5?

I know there's Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow printing plates... Is there one more?

Help a buddy out... Thanks!

That's all I've ever known there to be.

Assuming they use a CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) printing process, I wouldn't know what another plate would even be.

unless it's a player from bowman w/ chrome.
Then there'd be 2 of each color, different plates for the base and chrome cards.

Just 4 to my knowledge, but there are 4 for Bowman, and 4 for Bowman Chrome which can sometimes confuse things...

There are four, as you have listed.

For products like 09 Draft where there are both chrome and non-chrome versions of a card, there will be 8 total plates because of the different logos used on each card.

This card for example, is the yellow NON-chrome plate. Notice the logo simply says Bowman. The chrome logo would say either Bowman Chrome or 1st Bowman Chrome in some cases.

Ahhh that makes sense. Looks like I have to check what I have, and correct what I have in my possesion.

Thanks guys...
