Let's Talk E90-1

[ScottFandango]

ahh the mysteries of the E90-1

some of the well known "rarities" are not as rare as others lesser known cards..

not to mention that certain cards come with two types of backs, a regular back and a SHADED BORDERS back...

some debate over this but if only certain (known by me) cards are found with the shaded back, then its not random printing errors (otherwise the shaded backs would be found on all the 120 cards which its not)

the shaded reverse cards are all LOW POP cards that are uncommon to find on ebay for sale...no common cards (most that are for sale on ebay) have shaded backs!

plus if you look at the front of the dozen or so shaded reverse cards, they all look similar on the front (same artist perhaps) signifying these were a separate print run (the rarest print run apparently)

i know Bob Lemke didnt think it was valid enough to document this in his book, but i dont think all the debate is done in regards to the overlooked obverse sides..

cheers
