Anyone know the difference between F/X P1 a and b?

According to Beckett, #P1a has a gray checkered border while #P1b has a red border.

I couldn't find anything on Beckett.  Do you have a link to that reference?

I don't have a link, I found it in my Beckett Football Checklist book from 2002. 

Still not sure if a FXP1b even exists...I have the FXP1 with grey checkered square opening border. All the other images I see (ebay, other sites, etc) show no other FXP1 card with a different border. Hoping someone can provide evidence.

Still looking for images but did find this on one search http://my.execpc.com/~pjsports/FOOTBALL_CHECKLIST_DONE!/BLEDSOE%20DREW.htm maybe through email he can explain the difference he currently has both in stock.

I don't know for sure, but I'm going to say that the difference is the angle of the clear see-through area. Most of the Bledsoe Promo cards seem to have a diamond-shaped clear area, but only the PX1 has a rectangular see-through area. The regular insert set alters between both styles, so I think the Bledsoe Promos should do the same.

For those that commented about Beckett listings, Beckett actually says in the online set description that there were 2 Promos issued in packs, BUT they list 5 different cards AND the variation for FXP1. They list FX1a/b, FX2, FX3, FX4, FX5. There are scans of 3, 4, 5 also.

Oh, to give you a link C2C... here's what me reply is based from. Look at the description and then scroll down to the list of cards. The Promos are at the bottom of the CL.

Of course the Beckett link has a photo of the 1a (square clear background) but no photo ofr the other!
