Has anyone seen hologram logos on the 1990 upper deck baseball cards. I have 6 cards that are crescent moon shaped. thanks, Tom C.

Cresent moon sounds more like hologram misapplication or a portion of it has peeled/torn off over time. Neother f those would be considered and error for entry here. ------------------------------- My sins have come to face me, I can feel it That I have lived my life in vain And now I know I'll reap the seeds I've sown

The crescent moon shapes are indeed an application error. I have one card that has 2 holograms on the back, the regular AND a crescent moon shaped one. I think the crescent happens because of a "double strike" type phenomena like you see in coins. ------------------------------- TCDB Collection Leaderboard spots: #1 Alexei Zhamnov #1 Shane Doan #1 Phoenix Coyotes #1 Arizona Coyotes

Yes, when the small round die applies the foil it leaves a hole in the sheet of foil. If the sheet of foil doesn't advance fully the die will come down on partial foil/partial hole.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.
