100% this. Low magenta ink levels when it printed, which elevates the presence of yellow making it appear orange. Very common in junk era/mass produced cards.

That looks more like an inking level variance more than anything else. As such, it's a printing glitch and wouldn't be listable in here...if that's what you were seeking.

See that little letter C before the copyright on back? That tells you all your orange cards came from the same misprinted sheet. It happens fairly often. gordystenberg wrote: ------------------------------- Owner and creator of JunkWaxGems, online source for unlisted error, variation and oddball info from the junk wax era.

Agree with the rest of the comments. It's just a low/incorrect ink balance on the orange looking card. It's pretty common in the 90s cards.

-------------------------------

My main focus is primarily the Pittsburgh Penguins, Pirates, and associated teams. I collect other cards as well, but not as avidly. Also interested in the Pittsburgh Steelers if the trade is decent.

CURRENT GOALS:

Finish the 2021-22 MVP Hockey Base Set including SPs. (Currently: 240 / 250)
Finish the 2021-22 MVP Hockey Mascot Gaming Parallel Set. (Currently: 23/30)
My son is working on the Fortnite Series 3 Base set and Harvesting Tool and Wrap inserts.

LONG TERM GOALS:

Obtain a single rookie card for every Pittsburgh Penguins player.
