I have two different stickers for Dave Stieb but not sure if the one with a blue border (pictured) is a Red Foley. I thought it was until I came across the full Blue Jays set and they all have a white border with the # in the lower right corner. Just wondering if someone can help identify this sticker.

Stupid question but is that blue-bordered part with the portrait oval in the center overlaid on top of the original sticker? I found an example of the white-bordered sticker with the number in the bottom-right on COMC so I see what you mean about what it's supposed to look like. Without the sticker in-hand it just looks to me like something was placed over the original sticker, but then I know nothing about the Red Foleys.

Yeah that's what the other one I have looks like. No I looked at it this one and it is glossier and no trace of any imperfections or evidence it was tampered with to look the way it is pictured above.

Update: I found your Stieb in this auction and there's plenty of others. However, it says "Finely cut from an uncirculated issue--super sharp and beautifully centered--these high gloss mini cards incorporate the bright blue border unique to the 1991 Red Foley's Best Baseball Book Ever." So they might have been hand-cut from something that was unreleased?

Yeah I think you're correct, just got a message from someone that said it was cut from the cover of the book. Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I think some of these Red Foley cards/stickers were cut from the magazine covers. I have a Gwynn with no number that is not in the database. With no number and no year on it, it is difficult to identify.

Exactly and I did have someone else say the same thing so I believe that is what has happened here. Thanks!

If you look at the "Packaging" image, your Stieb blue border is in the top right corner of the cover.
