Ray in Maryland emailed me yesterday to show me the source of the blank-back Tatu.
In most sports, a card displayed on a box is taken straight from the normal set (see all of Topps Baseball in the 1980s). This is the rare situation where it was completely different. Granted, other sports collectors may also recall that several companies did put cards for cut-out on the bottom or sides of boxes, however I highly doubt that was the intention with these Pacific boxes.
I also won't count the Michael King card on the 1988-89 box either.
Ray also said he hadn't seen the 1989-90 Scoop Stanisic headshot card anywhere except on the site that I saw it on, so I believe it is just a well-made graphic and not an actual physical card.
So it appears we can lay the concerns to rest and have a nice, even 800 sigs needed for the project.
