Card Identification Forum

Not so much a mystery card as some logo confusion as I try to ensure my PC is entered accurately.

One of these two logos is "1992 style" and one is "1993 style".

I thought I had a handle on this but since the European Upper Deck sets have had these logo variants entered I am confused again. Images of both logos appear under the different year descriptions and the written descriptions both include some version of "diamond" and "Upper Deck" which both logos have both of.

I'm sure this is much simpler than my brain is making it but can someone tell me which is which!

Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

(If you really want to enlighten me, try explaining my version of this card which has both logo variations depending on which angle I tilt it...)

The one on the right above is the 1991 text hologram -- just "UPPER" and "DECK" in opposite directions, no matter the angle.

The one on the left above is the 1992 diamond hologram -- just the Upper Deck logo, no matter the angle.

1993 was a mix of both italicized text and Upper Deck logo at different angles, as seen on the images below:

Thanks Ed.

So in that case this 1991-92 set variation descriptions need updating to be 1991 and 1992, rather than 1992 and 1993 as currently stated?

However, the card I have with both versions is in fact a 1993 variation, even though the set is a 1991-92!?

Just following up to check if there were any further thoughts on this and to confirm if this set's var descriptions needed changing?

oh geez, I was stationed in the UK during all of the 90s & have lots of Upper Deck from that time early which means I'll have to check all my cards now, ugghhh, this is going to be a task

Or just ignore the useless variations.....find it much more sane that way.

No, the set was released a year after the U.S. 1991-92 one, so it used 1992 and 1993 holograms instead. If you look at the holograms on the back, they're the diamond and mixed ones seen above.

Thanks Ed.

I think I have a handle on it now.

Much appreciated.
