I understand, it just seemed bizarre to claim that it was an unknown variation that the guides refused to list due to scarcity when it was listed in Beckett magazine for years. I know this because (as the lone 1990 Fleer fan...) I hunted the card based on its entry in the magazine. It would be like claiming that Beckett refused to list the 1989 Topps Tony Oliva or 1989 Score Paul Gibson errors.
A related variation exists from the set but in very limited quantities (word is just a few cut sheets) that shows no ‘90 on the front of several Baltimore Orioles cards which are otherwise correctly printed. Just the Fleer portion of the logo. All mentions I’ve seen over the years refer to them as “stolen.”

Many more than that have sold. Especially since 2016. I’m pretty sure I’ve sold 4-5 copies between 2006-2012 and another 2-3 since 2016. Not to mention the dozen or so I’ve seen pop up in my eBay searches. Prices have ranged between $60-150 for me.
