I was going through my 96 Upper Deck baseball and found that the cards #145-153 Beat the Odds may have a variation. The cards scaned in all seem to be the Red/Blue back ground on the front. For cards 147 and 150 I have two of each with one being Red/Blue and one Red/Green. So is there any way to confirm the rest of the cards and maybe determine that there are or are not variations? thanks all.

I looked at the ones I had and they're all the same red/blue combo. ------------------------------- Follow my blog - I Identify as a Card Collector. “Aslan didn't tell Pole what would happen.

Just a thought, but perhaps the cards were all printed with blue and some are starting to age and turn green? I believe some older Topps Finest cards have this issue. (It's like the players are staring to turn into the Hulk in the really bad cases). No idea if that's what's happeneing here, though.

They're all pink/teal backgrounds, so the ink may vary ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *
