I have this 1989 All-Star Set Collector's Edition (Glossy Send-Ins) of Darryl Strawberry with an upside down Gary Carter back. What gives? Anyone else have cards like this? I am entering cards into my "Collection" and got stumped on this one.

Wrong backs are quite common. The sheets were fed into the press backwards. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I worked at a print shop as the graphic designer/prepress. I am familiar with that situation! Just wondering how common this was with this set. Thanks! -chuck

I think it varied, depended on how many beers the guys had on lunch break and what day of the week it was (FYI - Monday's are never good).
