Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I'll forget in about 48 hours and then rediscover this thread in a year and bump it back up with a post eerily similar to my previous one.

I do this as well. As an FYI Arthur, the sheet codes are detailed on the reverse of the card, near the copyright info...and read A-F.

A shameless plug. I put the Lance Parish and Karl Rhodes DS print errors in the live auction section. Might consider outrageous offers for the Jose Rijo.

Here is a quick number list for all the cards found on sheets A&B in the set, each one of these card numbers can be found with and without bold logos on the back as well as with and without "glow" ink, keep in mind that doesn't include sheet code variations or boring ol published errors :

*************************

Here is a quick reference list to all the card numbers that have sheet code variations:

5,9,13,54,63,72,76,83,87,120,123,124,153,155,170,1 77,178,190,192,193,213,216,223,233,237,
242,248,250,265,270,272,284,290,297,312,314,317,34 5,382,384,422,440,452,454,459,463,475,
478,480,481,509,532,538,584,595,610,622,642,644,65 0,664,667,676,677,696,716,718,756,781,
783,785

Cards with an A* designation can also be found with an A*B* designation. Cards with an F* designation can also be found with an E*F* designation. Note that A*B* variations are more difficult to find than A* variations and F* variations are more difficult to find than E*F* variations.

There are a few exceptions. #9 has an F* variation but what probably should've been the E*F* variation actually has NO print code at all. #124 has a D* variation and a NO CODE variation. #459 is the only number known to have three sheet code variations with an A*, B*, and A*B* variation.

Lastly, there are three cards that scored a hat trick, that is, they have the bold variations, the sheet code variations and listed errors. Add glow and non-glow to that and they have a whopping 16 possible variations! How many exist is still unconfirmed, I'm still working on that part but at least having this info in hand will allow those of you living in the North and East to dig through your old commons while you're all snowed in (thinking of you from sunny socal)! They are #s 155, 270, and 454.

I have the bold/not bold "sets" on your first list, but only a couple on the code list , and have decided not to pursue them at this point.

I can understand that Al, sheet code variations do open an unnecessary door for many collectors. Especially since they exist in more sets than most of us realize. If you pursue them in one set you're almost obligating yourself to look for them in the rest. That would be a arduous task if you ask me. You've got to draw the line somewhere, right? I do think, however, they should be added to the master list considering they are actual variations and not just printing anomalies.

[ALR-bishop]

I agree they are true variations
