Card Identification Forum

Ok so i have this card, then i have exactly identical card #496 but the extreme corps is in blue and yellow and TSC logo is yellow and bronze instead of red. Some kind of variant?

I don't know if they did it in other sports but the NBA set had a Wal-Mart exclusive parallel for the foil subsets only. They used blue foil for the Walmart editions. Might be the case here.

Ah ok didnt know that. Thanks billy.

I’ve wondered about this for several years and haven’t come across any explanations. Was Walmart doing exclusives way back in the 90’s?

Yes. I don't know about the baseball set but they were in baskettball.
 

That was actually near the end of the store exclusives, until Panini brought the idea back. It was much more common in the 1980s.

   I had TSC football cards with a similar foil "variation" on the Jaguars & Panthers inaugural-season subsets.  It appears that the foiling had a color spectrum that was not evenly divisible over the card widths, so the areas of each color could fall in different places.  I wouldn't classify these as variants, since it is the same type of foiling & could have been printed in numerous color shifts.  

   As I recall, the Stadium Club hockey set from that year had "Rookie" foiled subset cards with a similarly shifting purple/red foil.

   Obviously, to a team-collector or player-collector, these slight variations may be desirable - but they are all the same card.

It is not a variant, parallel, or anything else. They are the same card with the foil laid differently (as SaintOrm said). The key is the line under his name. The colors sync up to the words. That specific set was not sold in stores. It was a Super Team redemption set. If you had the Braves Super Team card, you could redeem it for the complete Stadium Club set with the World Series logo on it. Most cards have a gold logo, but the EC cards have a silver WS logo and different foil.

Thank you. 

Yes thats what i was saying its the exact same card. Thats cool to know thou. I have noticed it on quite a few different cards i have where there is no variant. I have 2,3, 4 exact same cards all with different colours on them.  

Glad to help. SaintOrm had the right answer, but being able to confirm that in the correct sport is important sometimes. I hope the extra info helped you some too (now or in the future).
