      <description><![CDATA[I dont think Bill was looking for a 'out'. He didn't have to respond to CNBC's request for a interview. Or he could have done so and kept his same old story. 

The photographers are sent Blue Line Proof sheets. They are instructed to inspect them for errors. I have one from 1988 Fleer. They make notations on the sheet about positions listed incorrectly, possible wrong player, mispellings etc. i dont know how that know didnt get noticed. 

Slipped thru..... the photographer during photo shoot,Fleer employee who lines up pic to print Blue line sheet, photographer during Blue Line inspection,Printer of sheets, Cutter of sheets, employees who work QC at packout and assumed other employees who view the cards in the process. No one saw it? Really? They started printing in late 1988 and it was discovered by a non Fleer employee in early 1989.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wow. I have heard that his teammates wrote the F-Face on the bat as a cruel joke, but I went to the site and it had everything about it. Billy Ripken actually wrote the F-Face on his own bat and posed for a picture. In the article, Billy had a point and said that no proofreaders could have caught on? He also said that the writing was much clearer on the card than the bat, and they could have touched up on it a little and make some fireworks in the set. Or, Billy could still be looking for some small excuses for his actions.]]></description>
