Nolan Ryan 1994 Topps Porcelain...2 Different?!

[jdthakid36]

Good Evening Bench,

I recently obtained a second Nolan Ryan 1994 Topps Porcelain, and noticed a difference, or a couple of differences. I was hoping someone may be able to tell me if one of them is not the beckett listed 1994 Topps Porcelain. It would be cool to add another card to the Nolan Ryan Master Checklist i've been working on for so many years...or even mark another one off of it. Any help or opinions are greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Josh

** Notice the color difference on the front of each, as well as the copyright information on the bottom back of each...strange?

I used to have one of these. I think it was the one starting with A. I recall that I got it because I was a member of Topps Stadium Club and they had a special offer. The one I bought was offered separately, and I think the other one comes from a small set of 1994 reprint on ceramic. I am not sure how this was listed on Beckett. I might be wrong about the small set, but I think I saw that somewhere. It's been a long time.

Below is the 1993 list. I have the 1st 2. As far as the color variance I can only guess it was the way the dye took to the porcelain on each new print.

Sports cards can be so confusing sometimes...lol. Thanks for the reply and input!

Hey Rich,

thanks for the reply. I have several of the 1993 Hamilton cards, and I didn't even think of comparing them to one of these 1994...great idea. Even though Beckett doesn't list a Hamilton reprint for the 1994 Topps, doesn't mean there wasn't one in circulation. We could've stumbled on an unsolved mystery in the card world...ha ha. I'll check it out and post what I see on here later.
