Perusing through my hockey cards without scans list and I noticed a bunch of this set.  Now I'm already suspicious.  How could such a popular set be missing so many scans and why are most of them the card backs?  Is this another one of those hologram nightmare situations? Been thinking I want to do a Billy Kingsley and scan all the cards that I own. Can someone tell if these were removed or if someone's working on this? thanks. Joe

The release notes can answer this one for you:

Release Notes: Hologram on the back has an Upper Deck logo. There is also a version with the words "Upper Deck" in the hologram listed as a parallel set.

Yzerman '92 Hologram Back

Federov '91 Hologram Back

I've been seeing several IR's for images to be moved or removed because they were the '91 text back in the base set. There are also hologram variations in the 1992-93 Upper Deck hockey set as well.

I believe it's the "base set" , i.e the Upper Deck logo hologram missing some 275 images (backs) . It's very likely due to the large numbers mentioned in collections that someone certainly must have them but there seems to be no one presently spearheading an attempt to enter them. (perhaps many of them even don't realize the existence of the parallel set). If you have some feel free to add.!!

The separation of the two holograms was done fairly recently, so it went from being one completely scanned set with the two different holograms, into two different checklists, both missing some scans after the original scans were allocated properly between the two sets.

Yes, I was sorting HOFERS, and ran into this mess. I’m sure I have my cards in the wrong sets, just didn’t have the time or desire to put on my opticals and sort the holograms.

Is this the only hockey year they did this to? I see French version also. DAMN You Upper Deck!!!!

Looks like we need to have a parallel French set added?  

There was already an IR in for this. Info I had received and put in the original IR:

The Upper Deck Logo Hologram is on all cards 1 - 700

The words "Upper Deck" on the Hologram are only on the print 1 - 500

Does anyone have info that varies from that?

Sorry how would I check to see if an IR was already created before creating double work for people? All the French version Hawks cards I have are under #500 with written Upper Deck on them.  

Sounds like a good idea to bring up this feature in the New Feature Tracker: https://www.tradingcarddb.com/FeatureTracker.cfm?MODE=VIEW&ID=113&PageIndex=1

Dan that info looks to be correct. I haven't seen a Text back on any card past 500 in the French set on COMC.
