Net54baseball.com Forums - Show...me...your print variations!

Was going through some '80s RCs the other night and noticed a 1985 Fleer Roger Clemens RC with red 'smoke' around the bill of his hat. Had never noticed this before. Looking at the 'bay, probably 1 out of every 30-40 of these cards has the red smoke, but don't seem to have any particular premium.

Is this a well known print variation?

Not my card below:

Tom- was unaware of it. My 85 Fleer set is boxed rather than bindered so will
have to take a look

Darren- great post. You variation “action” posts are always fascinating

Darren--In checking my 69 set I only have the 2 versions you show for CL 5. But I had not noticed the differences you pointed out. In my version of the one with the bigger boxes on the front there is a defect on the back involving 459 Boswell. Not sure if the defect shows up on all versions of that card. Really enjoy your "action" variations images

My two variations of the 1969 5th series checklist are the same as Al's. The one with the bigger boxes has the Boswell defect. Mine also has the same dot in the box for #456 Bud Harrelson.

I missed the dot Mike ��

Tom- there is a PSA 8 Clemens that has the defect and a PD notation on ebay now.

I do not have any variants with my 85 Fleer set. Anyone collect that set and know of any ?

The pinstripe hits the Tigers emblem in the center of the circle and the T on his uniform is cut off at the end on one version, the second version has the pinstripe more to the left hitting the Tigers emblem circle and the end of the T on his uniform is visible.

I bought the other version of this that I needed but see something that looks like a "Y" on the left version kind of coming up above the bottom box. Am I seeing things? Thanks.

That's what is better known as the Dave Stewart 'Fart' card. Obviously was caught him off-guard per his expression. Predecessor to the 'F-Face' Ripken card.

Good to know.... Gail's card then must be the predecessor to the Stewart card...

I had to hunt down a 1961 Cogdill Thick Flatulence variation after seeing yours and luckily found one on eBay, the Thin Flatulence variation seems to be common.
