ODD 1960 Topps Ernie Banks

[whiteymet]

Hi All:

Wondered if any of you seen a card like the Banks below? It is miscut and shows what appears to be a printed "Section I" at the bottom. Have any of you seen anything like this on sheets etc.?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Fred

I've seen them before multiple times. That is a nice messed up card!

Adam is right, they are scarce but not rare. I have 2 of them. If you surf eBay enough you will see them. Printers notation maybe. They vary in how much of the Section I shows. In some , quite a bit . That card can also be found with a printers mark in the lower left corner border. A little surprised it has not gotten more recognition as a print defect or even a variation.

Me, too. The word version is a far better variation than some of the ones that get a lot of attention.
