1991 Score "Wrong Back" error







This is a 1991 Score "wrong back" error, with the back to a Jay Buhner card appearing in place of the normal Wallach card back.  I remember these errors being somewhat common in the late 80's and early 90's.  I never actually pulled one out of a pack, but just about every card shop I ever went in had at least one or two of these in there case.  They used to demand a pretty high price, $10-30 if I remember correctly.  This one didn't cost me much of anything.  To be honest I don't remember how I came into possession of this, it was stuck in a drawer to be posted and forgotten about for the last year or so.  It was either sent by a reader (sorry for not giving credit if that's the case) or bought for no more than a buck or two on ebay.

For book keeping purposes, I'm not counting this as a unique card, or towards the 1991 Score tally.  I'm just deeming it another oddball collectible.

1991 Score #210











 




Card Review: 8.0  The first few score designs all had really nice backs.  The front of this card leaves a lot to be desired.  Besides the fact that it's a little too similar to the '88 Score design for my taste, the imagery just doesn't work well.  I don't like photos taken on rainy days, and the green border doesn't mesh with the blue uniforms.

1991 Score #865




















Card Review: 9.8 I loved this card when it was released. Not only did I like the card itself, which I still think is a nice design, but for the fact Score went with Wallach.  As a result, there were two Wallachs to be had in the set, which doubled my chances of pulling one from a pack of cards.  I bought a lot of Score in '91 as a result.

"The Franchise" subset featured one player from each team, and after years getting snubbed for Diamond Kings and the like, it was nice to finally see Wallach get included in a few of these sets in '91.  Score also did a very nice job with the write up on the back.

Fun Facts: *On the back of the card Expos Manager Buck Rodgers is quoted saying; "He's a blue-collar worker who grinds it out every day.  He doesn't mind getting dirty.  He beats you with his glove.  He beats you with his bat."
