Neat e90-3 color variations....
Posted By: <b>Brian McQueen</b><p>The e90-3 set has long been one of my top 2-3 favorite sets to collect for a couple reasons. I really enjoy going after the tougher players in the set - there seems to be some real diversity in the difficulty of some of the commons. However the other reason this set is a favorite of mine is because of the cool color variations that you see in the cards from time to time. <br /><br />There are a couple different types of variations that I have seen turn up --<br /><br />1.) Involves the Smith and Tinker cards most prominantly. Both players typically have a bright green background. However, you'll occasionally see a bright blue example show up, albeit very rarely. This is most likely due to a missed color pass of yellow or green during the original print run. You can see an example of a blue Tinker below (thanks to Rob Adesso for the scan!)<br /><br />2.) The second type of color variation that I have seen includes the Dougherty and Payne cards. Dougherty normally has a brownish colored background, the Payne has a green one. However in the two cards I've seen, each was missing a color pass again and both ended up with a pale blue, almost greyish background if memory serves. <br /><br />Has anyone seen any other color variations within this set that I may have missed in my summary above? Or any other players? Also, I believe I've only seen one example of each of these. Is there more than one example of each card that is known or are these variations pretty much unique?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for the responses...<br /><br />-Brian<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1198905250.JPG">
