Lost Info

The following information typically has been lost over time. I am using this page to help keep track of it.

1) 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken FF Error: 5 digit case codes less than 90171 should have FF error in the boxes.

2) 86-87 Fleer pack order: Look at top card, determine card number, then subtract 67 (if the number is less than 67, then after subtracting add 132 to the result), that will be the next card. Remaining cards alternate are in decreasing order. Examples:

118,52,117,51,116,50,115,49,114,48,113,47

22,87,21,86,20,85,19,84,18,83,17,82

85,19,84,18,83,17,82,16,81,15,80,14

On occasion there can be a flip. When the flip occurs the card sequence is increased by 43. Examples of the flipped versions:

56,122,33,99,32,98,31,97,30,96,29,95 (flipped)

124,57,123,56,122,33,99,32,98,31,97,30 (flipped)

91,25,90,24,89,23,132,66,131,65,130,64 (flipped)

127,60,126,59,125,58,124,57,123,56,122,77 (flipped)

Due to the flip, you cannot guarantee that a Jordan is in a pack unless it's the top card or the top card is #124. However you can guarantee that a Jordan RC is not in the pack if the top card is anything other than #14-18, 57-62, 81-85, or 124-129.

3) 1990 Upper Deck Reggie Jackson Heroes auto: The real ones are numbered out of 2500 and have a diamond shaped hologram on the back, while the non-auto'd ones have the circle hologram.
