In my recent travels through the hobby, it came to my attention that I have never seen a 1985 Fleer Roger Clemens without a little speck of white on the top right of the red inner border. The speck doesn't seem to be seen on other Red Sox cards and I haven't found a Clemens without it out of a couple hundred I've looked at.
Anybody know if there is an example of the Clemens card without that speck?

Interesting. I could not find one.

This is kind of like the '89 Fleer Boggs card. Ben is always looking for the one with no dot on the back. I think he has found a couple maybe?I found one for him once I think.

I am going to add this to my list of things to look for.

On the 89 Fleer Wade Boggs #81 there is a black dot after "throws right" on the back. The ones without it are silly rare. I have 4 of them and have been hoarding them since 1989. I pack pulled one back in the day, had 2 great guys(one was Sean) give me one, and traded with a member on here to get one.
