era of the late 80's. It's simple really, my focus was thoroughly distracted by my incessant hunt for Frank Thomas cards. In some ways, it still is. Over time however and as I've

matured as a collector, I've widened my focus to include research on errors. This one in particular caught my eye as it hosts a type of misprint that's not seen on other cards, at least not to my knowledge. This may possibly be the only card that features this target. This error is rather unique and easy to miss if you are generally unaware of it 1989 fleer baseball cards complete set value or if you are unclear on how it's defined. If you look closely at the version on the right, you'll notice a floating target just above Jeff's head. This target character is similar to something that's often found in Adobe creative suite like Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. If you take a look at the centerpiece of my Photoshop screenshot, you'll notice a similar target character. Hypothesis of Origin: Due to the use of a much earlier version of today's popular creative suits, I'm going to assume discrepancies in technology and general user experience. When we use a creative suite today, this target immediately disappears upon saving the document or even upon releasing pressure from the command key. I would have to be naive to assume that that's the way things were in similar software from the late 80's. Perhaps in this case operation of said software was simply more manually oriented than it is today. Perhaps the case is that the user had to manually remove the target during pre-production. If that's so my hypothesis retains some credibility, and pairs nicely with the inevitability of human error. As I've stated in previous posts, long hours increases probability of
Yellow '90Error 9 Jun One of my favorite junk-era sets is Fleer's 1990 issue, which marked their 10th Anniversary of producing regular-issue card sets. The clean design, the awesome-for-1990-prospectors rookie crop (10/10 on the nostalgia scale), the inserts (Soaring Stars are great-looking cards), and the interesting batch of errors and variations within it, are all reasons for me to continue breaking a box here and there. But 1990 Fleer also holds one of the rarer error cards of the junk-wax era, card #353, Dave Martinez, was originally printed with the little '90 by logo, in yellow, rather than red. Very few of these were produced, though how many remains ambiguous. Though nothing is certain, it was my understanding that these cards were found in a specific http://www.radicards.com/errors/1989-fleer-baseball-173-jeff-treadway-target type of retail packaging very early on in the run. Again, since such little information is out there on this card, it's origin of distribution remains a mystery. As I touched on earlier, this card was (is still?) priced in the Beckett guide at $2. I'll take 50 of them, please! Over the majority of the last 20 years of watching magazine buy/sell ads, sportsnet and ebay auctions, I was unable to find a copy for sale. Until around 2007, when https://junkwaxgems.wordpress.com/tag/1989-fleer-jeff-treadway-bullseye/ a copy sold for a buy-it-now of $7 (a BIN I missed - needless to say, that was an ugly day at my house). Likely due to the seller setting the BIN based on the hilarious Beckett price of $2 at the time. It wasn't until a year or so later, that I found a small group of these for sale on the Beckett Marketplace site and quickly grabbed them up, sight unseen. A few have popped up since then. I want to say somewhere between 2-4 copies, an unbelievably small amount in comparison to how much 1990 Fleer was produced and far fewer than the 1989 Fleer Jeff Treadway Target variation - another Fleer variety known for it's scarcity. The few I owned sold at auction between $70-100 (roughly) a piece but the handful that sold after those, sold much lower, likely due to a number of factors, not indicative of the card's actual scarcity. Obviously, the price is one of those made-up-because-we-want-to-acknowledge-it-but-have-no-idea-what-it's-worth entries into the annual guides like the 1990 Upper Deck Mike Witt. Even the most recent sale (within the last 18 months), somewhere around $25, is very conservative and most likely due to a poor market and ebay's dwindling reputation as an auction site and it's apparent change toward an online outlet mall. If you have the chance to own one of these, and the price isn't outrageous, I'd go for it. 20 years and counting, and less-than
