1992 High 5 Reusable Decals Baseball Forum

I noticed that new variations have been added to this set. The variation claims different puzzle backs. That is incorrect. The back with the pieces of a larger picture have in fact been cut from the 5x7 portraits that are listed under Inserts and Related sets. I have wanted to bring up this set as I personally feel that it is listed somewhat incorrectly. 

So for those who may not know, these were distributed with 5 players and one team logo on the back of a 5x7 portrait. Some would have 5 players from different teams, others would be team specific. The only things from this set that was released as a standard card size was the prototypes.

It is my humble opinion for the sake of accuracy nothing from this set should be listed as a puzzle piece.

There were IRs submitted last month about it, so I'll defer to the people that requested and worked on it

If this is the case, no worries. But they seem to be separable, and we usually list sets like this. I'm sure we can figure out the best approach without removing other people's efforts. @YoRicha, PM me and we'll work together on this.

I opened a box of these today and I am also confused as to how there are "puzzle back" variations. Each sheet consists of 5 player decals and a High 5 Superstar Collection logo decal. The decals are affixed to a 5 x 7 picture. There's no puzzle. The 5 x 7 picture is a solid sheet and does not come apart in pieces with the decals. The decals simply peel off of the 5 x 7 picture. The back of each decal is just the same picture as seen on the front of the decal. It might be useful if the member that entered the variations could post some pictures to show the difference that they see. 

Looks like the Carlton Fisk card is one that has the proper front and back images.

People cut the individual player decals apart with the 5x7 back still attached, giving the "puzzle" backs.

Looking at the listings of these on Ebay I'd have to agree with the OP that the individual decals are being cut while still affixed to the 5 x 7 picture rather than peeled off and that is why the 5 x 7 picture also gets cut up. I can confirm the intent is not to have a puzzle. It is a solid 5 x7 picture. The decals have a front and back once they're peeled off...same picture front and back. The packaging states "Full Color 5" x 7" Picture Suitable For Framing"  I think the variations should be removed.

Is the back image a mirror image like on the Carlton Fisk card?  Are these transparent decals?

I think they are transparent. Seems to be a mirror image. I understand someone may cut these up to maintain a more solid backing for the decals. I just don't think the picture on the back was intended to be cut up that way. I'm fine with whatever is decided. I was just confused by what I was seeing.

If anyone wants some of these I now have duplicates of several sheets and would be happy to trade em' !
