Card Identification Forum

I have a 1994 Ultra Rick Mirer blank back. Looks identical to the #291 Mirer regular set.  However, the gold Ultra helmet logo on the lower right of card is approx.  1/8" smaller than on other regular cards of that set.   it is not a mis-stamp.  had to be done by design.  That said, the photo on the regular photo is a bit smaller than on the blank back.   To put it simply, the blank back has a smaller logo but larger photo than the regular issue. If you can see both cards side by side, you will immediately notice.  Ultra had a lot of weird Mirer cards out that year as they already anointed him as the next Joe Montana.    Any thoughts?      Oh, first photo is the blank back, 2nd is the regular 291.

My first thought is, whoa, what happened to his elbow?  My second thought is you probably have a promo of some sort.  Any idea where you got the card?

I never buy cards other than by packs. Would never go out of my way to buy a Mirer, for sure.   So it had to come in a pack somehow.    yeah the elbow looks like it was chewed on a bit.     Unless someone tossed it my way which is possible because by 1994 I had already stopped putting sets together and would just purchase random packs here and there.    Thanks.

Could be a test issue or a box or case topper.

Thanks, Capt.  I will be ebaying this soon and see if there is any reaction.   I doubt it.

Cleaning up some old unsolveds.

This was cut from the box cover.
