The Mis-Adventures of a junk wax junkie.

[JoeDfan]

As I ripped into some more boxes, I found some of these bizarre variations. I don't think they are valuable at all, but I thought I would ask about them. I only took pics of cards I found with recurring issues in at least 3 cards, so I wasn't just looking at fish eyes.

Does Righetti always appear with a red tip on the All-Star eagle?

Does Boddicker always have a line through his face?

All the Yaz cards I found have little white and black "hash marks" around the year at the bottom.

Hernandez, I found in at least three "versions"; sometimes he has pink and purple spots and marks all over his jersey. Sometimes they are sort of there, and then sometimes virtually nothing.

Well, time to rip into some more boxes!

No, plenty on COMC with no line on face.

Still digging.

Found some 1993 Topps Albert Belle cards, with the green stripes and one with the grey stripes. Hard to see in the crappy phone pic, but clear in hand.

Also, 1994 Topps #306; one version has a "D" on the back, one does not. Is that what Junk Wax Gems means when it says "RARE version - D sheet"?

I love this thread, thanks to everyone that's contributing.

Would someone mind giving me the quick nickel version on the Darrell Jackson card? I couldn't tell on my own what was different between them. Thank you.

Jackson can be found with black hat, red hat, or red hat with most or all of the white letter missing, if I remember right.
Or maybe it was black hat with letter missing...

Jackson's black cap version can be found with most or all of the 'T' missing on front. Also can be found with solid black or half-black, half-navy color.

Jackson's red cap version can be found with most or all of the 'T' missing on front. Also can be found with or without a small red "tail" coming off the back of the cap. There are multiple variations in what % of the cap is red as well.

Fleer went through a handful of printings to get this card right.

Spent last weekend ripping through more (and more) junk. It seems like it never ends!!! Well, also probably because we bought another lot!!!! Hahahaha. However, this new one also had some sweet vintage boxes. So I can't really call that one junk.

I also went through about four sets of 1991 Topps, and found a bunch more variations, with green border stripes, and missing print codes, and the Morgan "187" variation with the "1" slightly raised.

Have a great Christmas everyone! I know I am!!!
While Ashley is at her parent's house, I am just sitting here tearing through box after box after box...after box...
