I along with others would like to see these cards verified as actually existing. They are listed in numerous collections.

1981 Fleer #24b "KEN" on front "Kevin" on back

1981 Donruss Checklist 1-120 with card #51 Donohue spelled correctly "O" not A

1983 Donruss #88c "BRYN" spelled correctly on front and back

1982 Topps #346b "THE" at the end of 5th line.... I think this one has been disproven,

1990 Donruss 665b DK back but numbered 659

1990 donruss 659b 5000K back but numbered 665

1990 Donruss 700a no #716 with #715 being the last card in left column, BC's right column

If you had copied the link to each, it would have made things a lot easier for members to verify if they had it in their collection.

Considering they all have scans of the card with the error as described (your description of hte 1982 Topps card is not what is on this database so not sure what you are talking about), why do you doubt if they exist?

I would think the scans prove existence. Also the number in member collections. The 1982 Tom Seaver is contoversial. 1. t ed is ok 2. tied is ok 3. the is under scrutiny as being a doctored card. ------------------------------- *Bob*

The Seaver was removed a few weeks ago after member consensus was that it didn’t exist and was a doctored image.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

I thought there was a concensus to remove the Tom Seaver "the" card.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Folks, we all know in this day and age, just because there is an "image" of something, doesn't mean that that item truly exists.

For instance, check out this variation:

Wow, that second one is missing the (R) logo after the METS name on the front!!! And I have the image to prove it!!!!!

Come on. So many of these are in base sets, where people added the entire set to their collection without discerning which variations are actually IN their sets (I know that happened, because I was one of those people - and I am updating as I get to those sets). So, please, let's actually check those collections on these cards.

PS: There is NO variation on the Familia card. In case anyone thought there was.

Please explain why the JERRY FAMILIA is not a variation. ------------------------------- *Bob*

Because he created it himself by photoshopping. To prove a point. BOBSCARDZ wrote: Please explain why the JERRY FAMILIA is not a variation. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I think he doctored the image himself.
