This variation has been discussed before...but only in the recent past. I wonder if this variation was known 20-30 yrs ago? I also wonder if set collectors of this set...TBOB, TONYA, TEDZ, SCOTTF...do you guys have this variation in your set?
Why won't the grading companies recognize it and slab it as such...LAME!!!!!
I don't think are that many of them out there...In fact I think single digits.
So Who has one?
Post em if you got em!
ps...if you want to learn about e90-1 check out Scott's thread!

As we all know....the multi-ink lithographic process used to print these Candy (and Tobacco) cards of that era applied the RED ink last. Therefore, in my opinion,
the Miller card without the "sunset" is not a true variation. It is simply a printing error of which the printer missed the last pass of RED ink. And, does not warrant
recognition by the grading companies. Sorry, to differ with you.
The lack of the sunset effect on the E90 Miller card is probably found as rarely as the ORANGE T206 red portrait Cobb card. I'm not aware that this Cobb printing
error is recognized as a variation.
My first E90-1 set (sold) had a Miller with the sunset effect. And, my 2nd set (a work in progress) does not yet have a Miller card.
