It is an actual real 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken card that has had a custom made superfractor front put on it. No company was making superfractors in 1989. It is also NOT any new factory made throwback card. The very nicely done Superftactor front was home made and applied to the front of a real card.

To make it different from what a factory card would have looked like. The word FLEER was removed from the front and the makers initials SW are there.

Hope this explains it. If you have any other question just ask.

Thanks Ben! Very interesting! I was 9 when this card came out and remember all the different variants very well I had all of them in a binder along with all the other (there were so many!) error cards of that era, and very sadly the binder has been lost at some point over the years.

Just wanted to add - Ben sent me one of these 'refractor' Ripken cards about 10 years ago. His picture doesn't do it justice. The 'refractor' effect is amazing and the colors really pop. Cool custom creation!

Thanks for the kind words. This is the same small engine turn gold layer used in factory superfractors. It isn't a picture of a superfractor. It is the same as a factory superfractor with all the sparkly effects.
