I did a quick search on eBay and a couple other places but couldn't find any info. Has anyone seen these? I appreciate your time in advance!

Thanks

Either a really odd printing error or possibly a counterfeit card. Keep in mind, in 1991 Frank Thomas was THE upcoming star aside from Griffey and you're in the middle of the huge card 'investment' era. That card was likely 3-10 dollars at shows when it first came out. Maybe someone actually thought copying some of these would be profitable. I have been unable to find any info on any '91 donruss with stock or color variations.

Did you pull it out of a pack? If not, maybe it's one of those box bottom cards or an insert type card that you could find in Tuff Stuff and the like?

GotMelky - Thanks!

Tom - I'd say it's definitely a Donruss back. I think I've had about a million or so of those go through my hands over the years! I hope all is well!

cjay101 - Someone on another site mentioned a plate issue or test. Of all the things I've thought of and heard, I'm leaning that way with it.

Billy - It was in a lot that I picked up off eBay. The seller told me he won it at a local auction in Oklahoma.

Thanks!

if you look at the one pictured at beckett.com, the stripes on the front of the card are different colors as well.
