1989 Star Platinum Baseball Forum

Here is the regular issue of the card:

https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/108188/cid/8296055/1988-Star-Platinum-49-Don-Mattingly

The image is a reverse negative error.  However, there was a version of the card printed with the corrected negative.  Here is information from the person I got the card from:

From the research I’ve done, the card was printed as a corrected version of the reverse negative error in the regular set.  It was produced and and distributed as a single to the major Star dealers from the time, which is why the finish is a little different.  I was also told the total print run was likely less than 50.

What is the proper way this corrected card should be added into the database?  I'm not sure that it should be added as a variation of the regular issue given that it was not issued in corrected set form, rather as a separate single.  Would it be considered a single promo?

For the regular issue card, should the reverse negative be noted as a corrected error? Uncorrected error since it was not corrected as part of an issued set?

Thanks for any guidance!

Leaning COR/ERR but I'd like to see feedback from others

Just for correctness of terminology; it's a reversed image not a reversed negative. This would be a reversed negative:

Positives (transparencies) were used to produce cards, not negatives.

I agree with you Ed. The original listing should have ERR added to it. This COR card should be inserted into the base CL.

Thanks for your input everyone!  And thanks C2Cigars for correcting my terminology.  I'll put in a request to add the card to the base checklist.

Not sure how many corrected cards were printed and/or distributed, and if we had any policy on returning the error to get the corrected card.

I added notation to the existing card and inserted a corrcted version of card #49.

Thank you!  Sounds like you are able to confirm this was indeed released as a single corrected card.  Appreciate it!

I worked for Star from 1986 - 1993.

Cool! Can't beat getting help from someone who was there!
