[bobsbbcards]

Beniques (spelled with an "s")-Yellow
DeJesus-Red
DeLeon-Red
Langford-Blue
Ortiz-Red

Cal Ripken Jr. comes in both blue & yellow

I believe I found another color variation in the set. The OP's Ayala is definitely orange, and the Ayala in the lot pictured that sold on eBay in August 2013 sure looks red to me. It is the first disc in the first row.

Thank all of you...that helps a lot.

1) I assume you all are agreeing that Brett does not exist...correct ??

2) Adding Ayala and Ripken as two color variations makes 10 two color variations. So 46 players and 10 two color variations ...Anyone disagree ?

3) Anyone have doubles of the ones I'm missing for sale or trade ??

4) Are the MSA Subways from the same year without the JOX on the back the same list of 46 layers ?? The catalogs do not seem to agree. ???

All I can say is that I have been looking for the Brett for at least 30 years and have never found one.

MSA Subway discs were indeed issued that same year (although I can't confirm that checklist)

I believe the Subway discs were blank backed. I've had a few over the years but have never obtained or seen either of the two Dodgers (Valenzuela/Guerrero) that some checklists claim exist.

Technically, these weren't even issued. They were found in a warehouse in the Baltimore area. I worked in an LCS that sold a lot of oddball in SCD and was contacted and bought some sets from the original seller. The LCS closed around April 1987 so I know it was before that. I believe we advertised them in SCD around then.

After nearly three years I believe it can be confirmed that the 1985 Thom McAn Benny Ayala can be found in two different colors, orange (gold?) and red. A seller currently has all of the Latin players from the set on eBay, and his Ayala is clearly red. Unfortunately his price is a little too steep for me . I left the Concepcion in the scan to contrast the red Ayala and show it is the same color as the orange (gold?) Ayala. ETA, the seller is correct about describing these as a Puerto Rico set as all ten players are from Puerto Rico.

The Carew disc is only one color.
