Do some junk era "Variations" even really exist?

This 100%.

And I do not believe that any of the three in the OP post exist. I Have a vague memory of selling the Chiamparino in 2005ish but I could be wrong and misremembering. The Valdez is one that I believe TCDB shows a photoshopped pic. I’ve bought out thousands of this card sight unseen for over a decade now and can’t confirm a single collector owning one.

Same thing for the 1990-91 Hoops Terry Porter without NBA logo on back. Also a photoshopped pic on TCDB.

Well what do you know...I went to reexamine the images of a couple of these on TCDB this morning and the Valdez is still there, but the Chiamparino is no longer posted - it was up there until very recently.

I noticed if a variation is submitted by : "iffie99" it may not be real. I had a few removed in the past that this person listed. So if in doubt see if this person listed it, it's probably photoshopped.

iffie99 is the one who submitted the Valdez - it's coming off my want list...

Well, they did warn us with that user name.
