But the King did make the Big Book, even if some said it should not :)

Yeah, that's me :). Most people have no idea that it exists. My updated stance on it is: list it but list all the other excess ink cards in junk Topps sets or none of them. I'd be happy with either!

Agree with you. Just a very scarce print defect. I only picked mine up because Lemke put in the Big Book at one time. But glad I have one. I also have a couple a of all green backs from 1967

The all color backs are most likely from the plate not being wetted which makes it not reject ink in areas that aren't intended to print.

There are other possible reasons, but that's by far the most likely. Tempered of course by it being Topps.

91 Topps Jordan"o"

It's just a fisheye but it makes it look like Jordano

Made me think of my 1987 Howell(o)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...65333ce5b9.jpg

The black can vary quite a bit on some of the 91 Topps but I think this Kittle on the left might actually be missing black ink.

I looked and that seems to be very common on that card. The 91 Topps set has a lot of cool stuff going on.

Yes gray instead of inset borders that are supposed to be black is common on a lot the 91 Topps including the Kittle I have several Kittle cards with both light and dark gray borders but none of them have gray around the Orioles logo and red outside bottom borders like this one.

These were tough to get ---

Misaligned black plate variations are common in the 91 Topps but in my experience not to a point that it creates a white top in the T in the Topps logo.

Will be cool if these are more than a one-off flaw.

It seems I did not post this here yet. I had bought a factory set of 1993 Upper Deck and a bunch of cards had a sequential printing error on the back. It whatever the error is, it is under the gloss, so it does not have any feel difference to it.

print/production flaw, cool but not a recurring variation

Here are a couple that I had for a while and just finally getting time to add here.
1981 Dave Winfield with ink smear and a 1990 Fleer Bob Milacki doubled.

Took a long time to find this stupid card

Wow! Nice find Al.... I was beginning to think it did not exist. I'm STILL looking for that one!!!
