I see the photo on the "mystery card" is cropped slightly tighter than the "normal" card.
Sorry if this has been mentioned previously; I didn't go ack and read the whole thread.

Thanks to it I can now better describe my opinion on the www.billripken.com website about the Mystery card. Still believe that opinion to be 100% correct, now I just know how to convey that opinion much better. My opinion now and always has been this card is counterfeit. If anybody else have one and if so I would really like to hear your opinion on it. |

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. Here is close up picture of the most noteworthy differences. Not including card stock etc. I always look for the Trademark R on the logo and the MLB logo on the back. The 'FF Mystery' card is on the left and the original FF is on the right in both examples.

My inexpert opinion is that these differences in logos, trademarks, etc., are the result of the use of more than one printer by Fleer, as they did in 1991.

I'm no print expert so I'll let others chime in. I just go by what I see. The Orioles logo is clearer than on the original. The trademark R is larger/different. The Ripken photo is cropped slightly different on both. The print dots are different - diagonal vs. horizontal. The back has different MLB logo/font.
It's the only '89 Fleer to show these traits - that I'm aware of. I first became aware of it over 10 years ago. To date, about a dozen have been identified. Steve B. is currently looking over one of my 'FF Mystery' cards right now. |

I've started writing it up, Jon sent me a few other cards as well for comparison, and I've picked up a couple normal corrected versions and an odd corrected card with some differences. There's some really interesting stuff going on with them.
