I just got another McCovey card in a trade to complete my team set. I have the other in my PC for Willie. As can be seen the front of each card is coloured differently. The backs are the same. It would appear this set has two print runs. As well as some backs have the MLB logo and some do not. The cards I have lack the MLB logo. Some have a reference to 1st print run. Some have no mention of print runs what so ever.

I know we love variations so much and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this set. The only variation at present is Lord OR Lou Boudreau #115a & b.

Thanks.

Based on the info here, I was going to say that you may have one licensed and another unlicensed, but I don't see the unlicensed set logged. And since McCovey was inducted in '86 his inclusion would probably have been in either an '86 or the final '87 set. I'll be following the thread to see what transpires.
