Sorry for the low grade phone pics. Yes, I got all three versions, and then some. Also, he signed one of them.

Little did I know that a phone call that started with “What are you doing Sunday?” would end up with me having a living room full of cards.

It was/is a blast to go through. It’s always fun to buy another persons collection and go through it, even if it is mostly junk sets.

Sean, great stuff! I know I have a couple of those Jack Clark variations somewhere. Gotta find them now. Completely forgot about it.

I did a similar massive craigslist sale about 10 years ago. Sets, 3200ct boxes etc. They had to go.... Took the family out for a nice dinner that night.

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 ?
