Card Identification Forum

   Here are 2 cards of Willie McCovey, to me they look almost alike except for the back of one is a blue color and the other is a pink color. Also the card with the pink colored back has the black baseball player logo before the copyright label.

    The blue backed card is listed in the TCDB as an NNO in the 1985 TCMA Home Run Champion set ( all blue backed ) and the pink colored one is listed on Beckett as number 7 in the 1985 TCMA Home Run Champion set ( all pink backed ).

    I can't find the blue set on Beckett or the pink set in the TCMA but I may be blind.

    Does the pink card belong in the TCDB and if so where? Or does it belong in the unknown have no idea box?

in general, there were many printing differences on backs of TCMA cards.

in other sets some are white back vs dark brown back from different card stock, some are white back with blue text on back, while others exist with red text on back.

I personally don't think we need two listings here, or parallels even.  I think just notes on the cards set itself noting the differences, and some examples of the diffferent backs within the scans of the set itself when possible would be enough info for me.

Admin may feel differently, but that is my opinion..
