Card Identification Forum

I just found these variations with card #38 Marlin Jackson, bottom right on the back.  Does anyone have a large enough sampling of these cards to have a better idea?

I also found a couple of variations in the insert sets Reflect Blue & Reflect Silver.

Any collectors of this set?....Bump

Well you're definitely correct there's variations based on your examples and some I found on COMC. I'm wondering if each player has three different VARs because yours has three and I was able to find that many for Aaron Rodgers, Alex Smith, and Jason Campbell. I'm not sure that there's any pattern, but anyway I think what I'll do to help here is get a shared spreasheet going so folks can add them as they find them. I'll either edit this post or create a new one in this thread when I've done that.

Went through the images (base set) on COMC, TCDB, etc, and the picture above.  I haven't found more than 3 variations for any of them at this point.  I have confirmed 3 variations for 18 of the 50 cards and 2 variations for 15 more, leaving 17 with only one variation confirmed.  My SAGE Hit cards are buried right now, but I'll try to dig them out. As a team collector I only have a few players, but maybe I'll be able to add to the list.  If anyone else can add any to the list, let me know and we'll see if we can't bang out a complete checklist.

Here's what I have so far...

Here's a link to my spreadsheet which will eventually include every insert/parallel/autograph because apparently EVERY card in this set is affected! There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to which cards got assigned which suit/value.

I hope anyone who feels like helping jumps in to add values as they find them. We'll leave this up for a little while to see how much help we can get and then just add as much as we can for the base/others as it makes sense.

For now the base set will probably be easiest to get done but I guess we'll see!

Update: this might not be quite as bad as I thought--so far I haven't found any evidence of playing card variations outside of the base, though I haven't gotten to the few parallels yet. Anyway, I still think focusing on the base set would be ideal and welcome help looking for backs on eBay, in personal collections, and elsewhere to try to finish up that checklist.

Dug up my SAGE cards.  As I said, I don't have many since I'm a team collector, but I can add a couple.

Card #5 (Charlie Frye) has a Jack of Clubs variation

Card #43 (Brodney Pool) has a 3 of Hearts variation
