The Mis-Adventures of a junk wax junkie.

Keith Comstock normal card, left.
The one on the right has his name partially printed in yellow.
Is that considered a variation? I have no idea, and I have never seen the yellow name Comstock before.

The rest of the card does not appear to be blurry, or over-struck.

Sorry for the crappy phone pictures. I will try and get a better one posted with my microscope.

Here are some pics I took under the scope to show what I am talking about.
Normal card, and then the weird one.

Just the yellow being a bit out of register.

I do not have a yellow, maybe Dylan does. But I had seen scans that seem to show it with a full yellow name. Not sure how that variant occurred or if yours is some transition card. I have all, or at least a bunch of the 1980 "yellows" and a Pryor no name but view all them as recurring print defects.

Looks like a mis-registered card to me as well. Not a yellow name Comstock. Print alignment slightly off.

Yeah, this is just an off-register one. You can find almost all of the Padres players in slight degrees of it. The yellow letter version ( I have owned three ) is the result of the yellow ink spilling beyond its intended parameters, aka into his name area. Definitely a print flaw situation, not an intended design change.

Thanks everyone for letting me know what I have (or didn't)! Lol.

Now I have a better idea of what to look for.

I am about to put the "Cards Not Included" and the "Border Tip Filled in Oil Can Boyd" cards up for sale in the 80's section.

Thanks for all the interest.

"Cards not included " version, what is the value , any demand for these type of insert cards ?

Also could someone show and explain the difference (photos) between the 1991 Topps Oil Can Boyd cards ?

Here is the previous thread on the Oil Can cards:

I think the value of the Cards Not Included advertising card is virtually impossible to predict. It depends on how rare it is and how many collectors think they need it for a master 1988 Topps set, The OP apparently thinks it is possibly worth $ 200 max ( with the Boyd and arrow card included), so it will be hard to tell what it's value is in the NET 54 market by itself even if it sells at that price with the other cards, or at a lesser amount in the manner proposed by the OP.

Anyone aware of any prior auction prices for that card. I have the Boyd and arrow cards and they do come up on ebay.
