I was going through my 1990 Donruss. (They must be the card company with the most variations) lol. I was Double-checking my lists trying to keep them accurate when I spotted something. Grand Slammers insert card #1 has two versions I have one of each and another website has them listed. I'm not sure how accurate the other website is on pricing. But that is a big difference for them and if you're not aware of it, maybe you should be. Man, you really have to look over Donruss closely. They must be the variations king cards company.  I must have over 200 variations not listed here for Donruss. I'll have to count them one day. Well anyway here is a listing for them on another website. Maybe we should be calling Donruss the curveball card company.

Keep your eye on the card. 

The Grand Slammers could have up to 5 or 6 different front patterns. We have yet to be able to confirm what's out there.

There are several cards with a front variation, all have a back variation (pack vs. factory). I put an IR in to try and get the main variations listed here and then follow up on the front spot variations after that was done.

Both my versions came out of packs.

I have a question. So what does it take to confirm the card is real? 

Since the site is crowd sourced usually a confirmation that you have seen or have the card is fine. A scan or link is helpful to those cleaning up inaccuracies also.

Is this a "please add my one card" request that belies what Dan stated earlier and the great posts Jason and Dan have done in the last few days?

I know im not the OP here but this is what I proposed in the IR #196528.

This set has a variation that affects all the backs of the 12 main cards as well as a difference on the front of 4(?). I have done the research and tried to get the 13 additional variations added to no avail. Dan looked into it quite a while back and said there were also front spot/dot variations on one or more cards. I do not have the depth of cards to confirm what all this front spot/dot variation list would contain. I am proposing to add an additional variation to the 12 main cards (all 12 exist with and without the black hash mark on the backs) plus an additional McGwire #4 with the black hash but a different front. I then will confirm which images are correct/need to be transferred, add the missing ones. Then as front spot/dot variations are confirmed add them as needed.

I read the title of this thread and thought "please keep it to yourself." I hate having to go back and confirm if any of my cards that I already added are a new variation that has been added so I don't trade the wrong card to someone. Please don't take this as a complaint about having all the variants on here, as I think it's useful, I just get frustrated with Donruss for how many variants they produced.  

I agree with adding this variation as it does add an extra "thrill" of hunting these down. However, I think a sub category for each type of variation is needed so all of us do not have to sift through a ton of pages like we do now with the dot variations. Is that possible?
