Yes it is known as the Mystery Card version. I believe there are around 40 known copies. I have owned 3 graded by PSA.

This one is special to me because it was a friends card that we had discussed many many times over the years.

Can you point out what's unique about it?

There is a pretty good description on this website dedicated to the 89 Fleer Bill Ripken card. http://billripken.com/

Click on the versions link and then go to Mystery Card #1. The PSA 8 in the link used to be mine. I think they are 100% counterfeit but what do I know about counterfeit cards.

Very cool on the FF Ripken, thanks for sharing.

I have one of those at PSA right now - should see it by 2025. Hopefully.

Is it the Mystery Card version? They have been rejecting them as Questionable Authenticity but a few have gotten through. There are 6 in PSA slabs that I know of. One 7, two 8s, two 9s, and one I can't remember the grade on.

Did you send it in with other 89 Fleer? If so it will definitely get rejected but if not you have a chance on it getting past their world class() graders.
