Legs

No Legs

Just ran across these today while searching for another 1990 Thomas issue and noticed they're the same number and labeled exactly the same by PSA, but have two different images. Was one pack issued and the other in team sets or does anyone know the story? I found it odd that they aren't differentiated on the slabs.

    To add to the confusion, I just found another: No Legs Glossy

    Perhaps all the 'No Legs' are of a Glossy variety and the other are not? Or are the Glossy and non-Glossy versions of both? I remember opening packs of these when they came out and if I recall they were all high-gloss, similar to Tiffany.

    Interesting, guess I should have looked there. The Legs version also has a Gatorade logo on the back that No Legs does not. I guess I'll have to look for mine that I know came from packs over the weekend and hopefully have a copy to verify which came from that source.

    The Gatorade is from team packs.

    It's weird that sometimes he has no name, and sometimes he has no legs.

    LarkinCollector, all correct info. It's 2 separate cards. Why? Here is the answer (clear answer or not, correct answer or not) from the Standard Catalog of Minor League cards: 1990 CMC Pre-Rookie This set combines CMC team sets with cards produced by ProCards and purchased by CMC. The ProCards were given a glossy facing and randomly inserted in wax packs along with CMC cards. The cards are numbered at bottom-right on back. These numbers were not coordinated with the original CMC team sets, and therefore many team sets were separated with ProCards cards between them. The CMC cards in this set differ from the original CMC team sets by the color of their backs (yellow in lieu of green) and the players are pictured in place of the team logos. A checklist was available through the company. Shortly after the cards hit the market, the CMC company was sold to Impel Marketing. Since the original CMC team sets were issued as one complete AAA set in a special wooden box, there were packaging problems with duplicates and/or missing cards.
