Al: There is also a variation on the Rick Aguilera 602 card

Most of what we had in COMC had 5 lines in text, I saw one, which has been sold, with 4 lines of text on the back. So you can add that one unless you already have that one

As mentioned above, every card in the set has a variation. Some, like Aguilera, Ready, Karkovice, Azocar, Guerrero are more obvious. Mike Greenwell and Kevin Miller have interesting variations in the stats extending out of the stat area. Lots of photo cropping variations (Alex Fernandez, Dave Hansen) and several that have different arrangements of stat/year groupings separated by horizontal lines.

The BB Card hobby was so 'hot" in 1991 that for all these companies multiple printing presses were used to produce cards. Needless to say, I'm convinced that helped "cause" these fascinating variations in these sets and IIRC -- there are some interesting Score variations circa 1991 or 1992.

For you 1991 Fleer Experts, we got a note about a variation in the Edgar Martinez from this set but I could not tell the difference as it appeared to be too subtle. If anyone could help me with this one, I'll add it to the COMC Data base.,

Doing my best David Rudd imitation here.

Maybe we did not have both versions in the COMC data base but these differences appeared to be so subtle I could not figure them out. Would love some help and I'll add them

Randy Ready
Oscar Azocar
Pedro Guerrero
Kevin Miller (or do you mean Keith Miller)
Alex Fernandez
Dave Hansen

105 Tim Naehring

We might not have scanned all possible variations in because we only deal with what we actually received but as an E & V guy, I love mysteries love these. Please feel free to either PM or EMail me or post in this thread

Edgar's card can be found with the text printed at a tilt or correctly, in a straight, horizontal way. See COMC Item: 1648267 for an example of the diagonal text.

Randy Ready - extra stats on back (can't recall what the additional year is but should be the first line)
Oscar Azocar - drawing a blank, but I think it is another added stat line variation
Pedro Guerrero - can be found with a $ in front of his SB totals
Kevin Miller (or do you mean Keith Miller) - yes, my mistake!
Alex Fernandez - coca-cola sign is partially visible on one version, cut off on another
Dave Hansen - two different photo croppings. All COMC copies are just one version.

105 Tim Naehring - added line of text stating "player of the year..."
