I recently got this Dave Winfield card in a huge lot I won on eBay. I came across this card. It doesn't seem to match any colors that are on file so I'm unsure of its identity. Any suggestions? ------------------------------- SHANE OLSON

When compared side by side, My card appears much darker in color than that match so that's why I don't think it's a true match. So Is my card just a darker version of that card or would you say my card is an error card? ------------------------------- SHANE OLSON

Looks the same to me. May just be the scan is a bit lighter ------------------------------- A man has to have goals — for a day, for a lifetime — and that was mine, to have people say, "There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived."

I want to say at one time there was speculation that there was a mix-up at Upper Deck with regard to the base vs beige sets. The beige set is supposed to be a shade between the base color and the brown color, but in most cases, the "beige" set #/299 are the base color. The autos and memorabilia versions are the correct, darker shade. If we had more scans in the beige set, that might make more sense.
