All this stuff is in this link and gives a great breakdown of NFL pro set variations, errors and SP's. It's really fun to look at and might even get you pulling out your old stuff or buying a case of some old wax.

The Bennett is the red/black version. (I actually have about 20 of them because they were all in the same case, I got extremely lucky)

The Rison has the clipped "3" in "134". I have 2 of those.

The Moosebar has the blue dot, I have two of those (Not listed, but I contacted the guy who wrote it to tell him, but he never responded)

The Cunningham is missing part of the text in the back. I have a lot of those as well.

The blue dot on the Mosebar is not an error card but rather a printing flaw called a "hickey" on the plate during the printing process. It is not uncommon on older cards and would have been eventually removed by the printer once seen using a hickey picker. In short, it was an object that temporarily stuck to the plate (usually caused by paper defects).

The missing type on the Cunningham card is probably due to a smashed blanket causing the plate image to not print in that area. Again, a press issue more than an error (although they are listing it as an error in your link).

I am a long time pressman and am very familiar with this.

Yeah I never understand why sometimes printing flaws are considered "error cards". I guess it's just an attempt to make something out of nothing.

True, but hey posting Pro Set Mail days deserve a round of applause.

I just ripped a box of 1992 Pinnacle ($8.99) and a box of 1993 GameDay ($12.99)....who cares that there's nothing valuable in them when the cards are so good-looking....a really fun, cheap rip....

Nice!

To me, Early 90s often looks better than today's cards.
