1989 Upper Deck Canseco #659 variation

parkerj

I just got into filling in a master set of 1989 upper deck with all variations. The one i cannot find any pictures of online is the #659 Jose Canseco MVP card. According to reports online, there is a version with a blue eagle and a black eagle.....I believe the black eagle is the variation.

Does anyone here have a scan of these two variations? If so, could you kindly post them to this thread?

thanks, jim.

Black Eagle Variation

notice the American League emblem, the color of the design is black.

Another Award Winner Emblem

I think this emblem is colored as opposed to the Canseco card

Here is a link to the two Canseco variations. I'll warn you up front - the differences are very subtle. The version on the left is the "blue" version and the one on the right is the black version. The best way to tell these two apart is to look at the definition in the wings - the version on the left does not have the white lines in the wings - particularly the wing tip - as much as the right version does. There is also a bit of a bluish tint to the one on the left, but not radically so. It is also possible that I don't have the absolute best versions of the variation, but I think it is pretty hard to tell the two apart even with the best versions.
