1990 Pro Set Errors


1990 Pro Set Errors
Errors = Missing/Incomplete/Incorrect Information On Card
Updated August 8, 2013

Description:  Ludwell Denny, President and CEO of Pro Set, was quoted many times describing "The Living Set," referring to an ever changing checklist of errors and variations created and corrected by the company.  This leads me and others to firmly believe that many errors were produced on purpose to keep interest alive in the card set.  Since his passing, it is now impossible to confim this straight from him, but the interest still lives on as his legacy!  Below is a list of what most popular card guides have for the errors (some are not in the guides), but I can tell you there are many more...  Some found by others, some by me, and some that have yet to be discovered, making this set probably one of, if not, the best set an error enthusiast could ever attempt to collect.

1990 Pro Set Ottis Anderson #7 Verified! This card is graded by Beckett.


Notes:  Green are new to the list (from another blog) and Red are unconfirmed, but have been reported by others.  If they do exist, from my own pack-opening experience, the are ultra rare and would be worth some serious money!  If you have any information or card scans for these, please email me or post!
