Hey Dylan.
Perhaps you have some clues on where these “error” cards are from?
http://picturecardsandbubblegum.tumblr.com/post/10167712994/1990-upper-deck-gary-sheffield-no-text-i-have
Like I said in the post. – i have 27 of them all in the 100’s .. all have the same photos as the final release.. but no text.
You pretty much covered it. Definitely NOT a “blackless” type error and NOT an erased card. Given that you hold 27 of them and the fact that Sheffield was a young prospect at the time, my best guess is that they were backdoored from Upper Deck. I’ve never seen another copy like this but wouldn’t be surprised if any did show up, they were of the young stars or hot rookies of that time. Do you plan on listing a copy on ebay?
Thanks again Les, good luck with the sales! Please let me know if you come across anything odd for Robin Ventura’s star rookie card. I’m always interested in missing holograms, double holos, etc.
Aren’t there a bunch of ‘No Copyright’ back errors in this set as well? If I remember correctly, it only affected one 100-block of card numbers and it wasn’t the high series.
i just opened a box 2 weeks ago of no copyrights. 210 total. they were numbers 101 to 199.
By chance would you still have any of these “No copy right” cards. I am missing abut 8 to complete my set if you do. Thanks !!
Hi,
I was wondering if I could get a little input? I recently came across a 1990 Upper Deck Nolan Ryan card #544, with a hologram variation, that I think might be fairly rare. The word “Upper” is printed upside down, and backwards. I have seen “Upper Deck” printed upside down, but never backwards. I have searched a few thousand 1990 Upper Deck cards and have not seen another. I do have scans available.
Has anyone else come across this type of variation? Not sure if my test sampling was too small (only a few thousand cards), or is this truly a fairly uncommon variation?
Thank You, for any help,
Paul
Can anyone tell me what the 90 UD Mark Langston error is ?? Thanks
It’s an uncorrected error, so no variations. Here’s the info from Beckett: #647 Mark Langston UER Several errors in stats totals
I meant the High series # Mark Langston it is a real short print found with the Mike Witt card short print. Thanks for responding though !
I also recall hearing about a variation on the Langston card but don’t have any record of what that variation is. I’d also love to know if there really is a variation on the Kevin Mitchell card (#117). Is there really a version that says 99 home runs on the back instead of 100?
I have seen a picture. So I beleive so unless it was photo shopped. I am also looking for that one as well. What else are you looking for?
#600 with the diamond-shaped box on the back near the card number is the only other one I am looking for. I am not tracking the Langston until I know more about it. The other ones on my list are the McDonald white circle and checklist #800 with Mike Witt listed, but until I have more proof about those two I will operate under the assumption that they don’t exist. Any chance you still have that picture of the Mitchell variation?
Hi Eric,
Can you clarify what the variation is on the #600 Checklist card? Do you have a picture or any additional specifics?
As far as the Langston goes, is the variation on that card the placement of the position on front? I know there are several hi# cards that were produced during the Witt error run that have shifted positions.
I heard about the variation here – http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=11&threadid=718974&highlight_key=y&keyword1=1990%20upper%20deck – but have yet to see it. Apparently, there is a diamond-shaped box near the card number on some versions. I have only seen it referenced here and put it on my list, but I have nothing to add to the discussion beyond what I read. As for the Langston, yes, there are several that have either shifts in the position on front or breaks in the stat lines on back. However, while I have heard that there is a variation on the Langston card – likely something along these lines – I don’t know precisely what the variation is unfortunately.
If anyone has a picture to share of the Mitchell variation with 99 home runs on the back I’d love to see it.
Has the 1990 UD Kevin Mitchell Variation ever been confirmed?
Still hasn’t been, as far as I know
Thank you !
I have the Ben McDonald card with rookie in the front instead of Orioles. Is it worth anything with that error?
Unfortunately, that is the common, corrected version. Myself and several others on this site are interested in pics/info on one with a blank circle on front where that logo is. Thanks!
I have a 90’ # 41 Lou Whitaker and part of the hologram on back is missing. Does this constitute an error?? I’ll see if I can share a picture too
It is a print flaw in the foiling process. These are fairly common with early 90s UD cards.
Here’s what I got:
38 – Chili Davis – No upper deck 1990 logo upper right corner.
61 – Mike Stanton – No team logo bottom left.
623 – Pete Harnisch – No name on front.
294 – Jim Eisenreich – No first name on front.
139 – John Franco – No card number on back.
572 – Ken Griffey Sr. – On back just # holo diamond and color picture…some light fuzzy red lines.
Hi William, please send pics to: jacksoncoupage@yahoo.com. Until I can see what you’re describing, these sound a bit like the erased cards from that era of UD.
