Junk era variations: let's try to confirm some elusive ones
A whole lot of the people here are familiar with Dick Gilkseon's E&V guide, Bob Lemke and Rich Klein's work at SCD and Beckett (and COMC) and maintain interest in the odd variations documented in these guides and other circulating wantlists so I figured it would be interesting to attempt to confirm some of the more elusive stuff from the 80s and 90s.
I'll start. Can anyone confirm the following cards exist:
I'd really love to be confirm as many of these as possible. But also very eager to see what others are hoping to confirm the existence of.

It's been a number of years, but when I was building a master 1991 Topps set, I became convinced Efrain Valdez with the wrong B'Day doesn't exist.
I believe there was once an 'image' of such a variation on TCDB but it's long gone. When I was building my 1983 Donruss set, they had an image there of a 3rd Bryn Smith variation, but it too was taken down and was assuredly a fake. |

Like a number of the cards in the OP, I would add one I suspect does not actually exist but could and would be a very exciting 'junk find' and I would love to see.
1990 Pro Set #754 Jim Morrissey, as appeared on the original checklists. 1990 Pro Set is a variation hunters goldmine, and one of my favorite cheap sets of the junk era for its excellent photography. #754 is Steve Tasker in the actual set, but Pro Set's early checklists listed Morrissey and considering the huge amount of print runs they did at this time and the very small % of 1990 Pro Set cards people actually look at, it's entirely possible it does exist somewhere. |
