How can I tell if I have the regular card or the Update version? I have 3 copies of #6 Mark Martin. Two of them say he has 13 Total Poles and 1 says he has 12 Total Poles. That's the only difference b/t the two. I'd also like to know the difference for #5 Ricky Rudd. The difference should be listed in Note 2 for the cards, but they aren't. Thanks for any help!

The #5 Rudd card has a different photo on the front; Levi Garrett team in the first and Tide in the update. This is correctly shown in the Database. Per Beckett, the #6 Martin card says 4/13 poles in the original and 3/12 poles in the update. The Database appears to have a scan of the update card for both sets.

I checked both Beckett and TCDB before posting this thread and know the differences b/t the two sites. I also know that either site can easily be wrong. After looking at other Martin 1991 cards, it appears that Beckett is correct and the Update was a correction to the error on the original card, instead of updated stats. I actually knew that about the Rudd card, but forgot. Thanks for your input.

I know the updates are correct, because I used the original paper I hand wrote out when I first opened my factory sealed set. I wish they had put a small U on them somewhere, or numbered them seperately like they did in 1992.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I agree Billy. It would have been nice to have some kind of marker on them to show that they were Update cards. I didn't doubt your scans, but that's why it was confusing to me! In an "Update" set, I'd expect new stats and/or pics, but that wasn't the case for most of that set. Most of them were corrections for the main set.
