1990 Pro Set Final Update Question

mygotta

Anyone know about #772, Dexter Manley? What is the story behind this card? I have a sealed set. Is there a way of knowing without opening?

If I remember correctly, his agent/lawyers had issue with the mention of his substance abuse issues and had the text removed very early in the run where something less than 100 or so got released. I think there's 4 other variations as they corrected the text.

I don't know of any way to tell which version without opening, I just keep busting them hoping for gold.

Might check with jacksoncoupage (sp?) on these boards. His Junk Wax Gems site is full of error/variation info. List of variations from there:

#772a Dexter Manley (mentions substance abuse problems on the back of the card) ****

#772b Dexter Manley (does not mention substance abuse, ” Backwards t ” in the word “photo” on back) ***

#772c Dexter Manley (does not mention substance abuse, black line printed over team/name bar and photo) ***

#772d Dexter Manley (does not mention substance abuse, black line removed from front, missing bio data on back)***?

#772e Dexter Manley (does not mention substance abuse, black line removed from front whiteout “involved” in text) ***

I guess if a card is rare enough, the Gem Mint grade/Pop 1 doesn't carry much of a premium: Manley Error

If I remember correctly, this card typically sells for around $700 raw.

Kyle: the site doesn't list any known errors or printing variations with the Tippett card. Do you know of any?

LarkinCollector

Nope, I haven't heard of any Tippett variations in that set.
