There is a Chicago Tribune article from 1989-90 mentioning other versions being pulled from factory sets.

That seller opened a small 4 set factory case. All four had the White Scribble. I convinced him to get them graded by PSA. Three came back with 9s and the other was a 10. He sold the 10 for over $1000 - at the time a record price. He sent me one of the 9s - for free.
