The Living Checklist: 1990 Pro Set Error Variation Promo and Oddity list.

Although there are a bunch of 1990 Pro Set error and variation lists floating around out there, I have found that most are missing a large bit of info (mostly recent discoveries) or as is the usual case, they have incorrect info (i.e. Walter Stanley with #87 on back). I also feel that the popular unconfirmed varieties that may exist are worth noting as well. All recurring print defect variations are now noted with a RPD designation. A recurring print defect refers to cards which are affected by short run obstructions to their printing plate(s) and/or interruptions to the normal printing process BUT that are also found in large enough numbers to be considered variations in their own right. Stat line breaks, stray lines and miscellaneous blotches are examples of such.

So, getting started, I have added the following key:

***** = Extremely rare variation and/or promo. Only a handful confirmed to exist. Possible proof issues.

**** = Very scarce variation and/or promo that is hardly offered for sale.

*** = Scarce variation and/or promo that rarely pop up for sale, usually an early correction or very short-run variety.

** = Scarce variation and/or promo that are rarer than the ‘common’ variations and pop up for sale only occasionally.

* = Slightly tougher to find than a common card, the Johnny Holland NNOB is a good example of this.

No star = Can be found with little searching, usually offered for sale on ebay by a number of sellers at any given time.

Enjoy!

NOTE: Cards 1-30 (Stat leaders, Award Winners, HOFers) can be found with a thick, bold black inking on front or corrected. They can also be found where it appears the gold foil is stamped over the black ink instead of the correctly-opposite way. RPD

NOTE: All cards of the New York Jets can be found with a pink bar/strip on back where the team logo appears above the stats. These are very scarce. RPD

Pro Set football cards are receiving  a heavy amount of collector attention these days. Likely due to a mix of nostalgia experienced by the children of their era (1989-1993, who’re now grown adult collectors) and the staggeringly expensive recent online sales of such previously ‘hidden’ or little-known variations as the Dexter Manley and Lud Denny errors.

This list is complete as of today. Obviously there will be many, many additions to it over time (and I welcome any contributions) and they will be added as they reveal themselves.
