1989 Fleer Randy Johnson Marlboro Variation Question

xDomePatrolx · 12-10-2023, 12:20 PM

I possibly have found one of the variations but not sure which one as it looks like green tint with a white circle and when I expand the scan I think I can see the word Marlboro. Any help would be appreciated.

This is what the green tint looks like. (sorry for the huge pic but it's easier to see). It has a green outline...

One easy way to tell the difference is the corrected versions don't have a gap between the sign and Randy's head. I've circled the area to look at in the attached picture. If you compare this circled area to the same location on the green scribble card you can see the the scribble card has the gap (indicating it is one of the uncorrected versions).

Same location, different date/time. He's got a different uniform on plus the '89 Fleer photo has to be from 1988.

This thread makes me want to smoke.

I have heard that there is only one known uncensored version of this card.

I have always wanted to see it.

Does anyone know if there are photos of it.
