Boxing and Football don't have as many differences in the printing, and If I'm not messing up the timeline came out before Baseball. My general feeling was that it wasn't poor sales, but much better than expected sales. The shop I worked for saved the masks used to make the plates for a long time. Some for years. At least until the Hunts drove silver up... Anyway, we could have easily reprinted many jobs exactly the same as earlier. But if Leaf printed to their expected sales, and threw out the masks, those would have to be redone. The other possibility would be responding to complaints, like "who wants a PINK baseball card!" Or having another place do more cards when needed. Or... if the ones with the lines came first, eliminating the lines would make the job cheaper as it uses less ink. That little difference may not seem like a lot, but over a lot of sheets it adds up. |
