Nice, always good to get them in Gem Mint 10. It looks like what is called the red stencil version but hard for me to tell from pictures. Am I correct? If not what is it?

Hi Ben, it is similar to a red stencil, but there are gaps in the sign coverage, unlike a red stencil version. The entire sign doesn't have that same type filter applied over the whole ad.

I have never seen one like this before.

Nice, I have also found a few different "stencil" type versions. Never seen any like them and all of a sudden I noticed around 6 total for sale. The new type I noticed has way less red and way more blue but still has the little squiggle by Fleer unlike the pure blue stencil cards.

Bought this one the end of last month. I have bought a few of this version hoping it was something else. Weirdly from the sellers picture it looked like it had a lot of green in the sign area.

Christmas present to myself just arrived... I had my clear slab reholdered to the new lighthouse label. You can now see the image when you search the cert number. Steve

It’s taken 14 years of obsessively researching and collecting 1989 Fleer Marlboro errors, a trip to Kentucky, a delayed meet up, a missed flight and some scrambling to make arrangements to get back home, but I have finally had the chance to add a Clear variation to the collection!

Congratulations! Very happy for you. It looks like a beautiful card. Did you learn any background about how the previous owner acquired the card?

Great pickup, very happy for you.

Has anyone bought anything or found anything rare lately? I have bought a few from bad pics cheap hoping to find something rare but no luck lately.
