1960 McCovey AS corrected card?
 
4 Attachment(s)
This may be a simple question and maybe embarrassingly irrelevant, but I have 3 1960 Topps #554 McCovey's and two of them are printed with graphics that are slightly different than the third one. Every #554 card offered on E-bay right now is the what I'd call a "corrected" version and two of mine are the "uncorrected" version. None of the info is changed, just the graphics of the black shadow - see McCovey's right shoulder and bottom red bar (and a few of the printer's dots removed - see detail). The backs are identical. I've searched online for notations of this and nothing comes up. I can accept it as inconsequential but in our collecting environment, it seems a difference is usually noted.

So I wonder if anyone knows about this (or cares). Is this common?
And should I sell or trade them as the same?
Thanks.
Doug

I had not seen that difference pointed out before. Sounds like it might be scarce and maybe not a correction but an alignment issue on some sheet prints ?

Ironically the second post on the first page of the never ending variations thread ( see below on this page of the forum ) involved a shadow difference on the 1960 Charlie Neal All Star Card

I think it's a registration issue as well, not a recurring print defect or intentional change.

Agree registration. Note the yellow line to the left of the red bar in the top close up photo

Yep, I agree after "registering" the idea of the colors and black being out of register. Simple and not a new discovery.

Thanks to those who responded.
