Cataloging my '93-94 Hoops set and noticed that card #144 Rolando Blackman's name on the front has "R. Blackman". Would this be considered a UER or is it in line with the same printing on the rest of the set?

I think it must have been a character limit issue. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Clarence Weatherspoon are also abbreviated. Though it seemed arbitrary. Victor Alexander amd Christian Laettner were not shortened. Edited on: Sep 8, 2022 - 2:07PM

And to that, I wouldn't call it a UER if it was a conscious design choice to shorten the name. Now, if they had put the wrong name.... ------------------------------- My sins have come to face me, I can feel it That I have lived my life in vain And now I know I'll reap the seeds I've sown

Correct. Design choices by a company, including abbreviated first names, are not UERs, but per the FAQ guidelines, we list the full names here. ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *
