Reviving this old thread because I have a question about this set, specifically the blue foil parallels.
Can anyone here show an example of a blue foil parallel of any card from #1 to #36? Five examples are listed in collections, but I'll bet those are mistaken identities. For example ebay listings often show 1993 blue foil cards listed as 1992.
I ask because I'm convinced the first 36 cards in this set (9-card sheets from the first 4 issues) do not have a blue foil parallel. I've never seen an example. The only scans on TCDB are of the backs, and I'll bet users just uploaded the backs of the regular gold foil cards because...well...I really don't know why.
In contrast, cards #37-45 in the set are not that hard to find on ebay, and TCBD has front/back scans of all. And of the last 9 cards, there are 20 examples listed in collections. I really believe that Cartwright's only started the blue parallels on the 5th issue of that year, and if that's correct we should probably delete the first 36 cards.
