1988 Donruss Baseball Forum

The back of my Jim Morrison card doesn't match either the base set or the factory set (which both have images showing the same card back on this site). The group of cards that this was in all match the base set for text, so I'm not sure why this one is different, but I'd like to see if anyone knows where it belongs. 

Without seeing the other card, what is different?

I believe you have the correct back for this card: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/119/cid/44548/1988-Donruss-543-Jim-Morrison

I'm looking at this card

https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/119/cid/44548?PageIndex=1

and I don't see a difference. Can you tell me/us what you have that is different?

Look at the layout of the text of the Career Highlights. It's the same text, but laid out differently. I was led to understand that this determined the difference between the retail and factory sets. However, the image of this card for both sets look exactly the same, and neither have the text laid out like my card.

My source idicates that cards have been found  with  the "R" or part of the "R"  missing on the front.

We've been iffie'd again.

The version without the decimal is the packed out version. The one with the decimal is the factory set version.

The image at the factory set version is correct.

There are 2 listings for "packed out" versions, and they are both INCORRECT, and there should only be one listing anyway. It appears that the "no decimal" image here is a DOCTORED image of the the factory set card. Ugh.

This will take some work to rectify.

Just to add, I don't have the "R" variation or pic.

Is iffie'd an official term now? is that what we are going to use from hereon out when this comes up. And yep, I'm certain it'll happen again (and again, and again, and again....).

I couldn't use the term I was really thinking on the forums.
