1975 Topps Questions
 

I have a few questions concerning the print runs, cutting style, printing type, ink types, and errors. How many releases were there or was it in a series?

One and done series.

1975 Questions
 

Here are images of three slits. I have not examined this year in detail because I assumed that there were two identical slits per sheet, and all 5 sheets (of 132 different cards each) were printed somewhat simultaneously, since the cards were issued at the same time.

What type of errors are you inquiring about ? Variations ? Printing errors ? Uncorrected mistakes ?

I was hoping you would say that.

Variations I would guess to be the correct category. It is a card with several different identifiers, 2 of which make me think there might have been a print-run correction such as a new printing plate or even a second run. The corrected version is almost always crisp in the registration and has vibrant colors. I have also found 3 out of 1000s with a unique micro dot and vivid colors that all grade 7+, several different variations based on color saturation.

I have the regular and mini sets and collect variations, variants and recurring print defects for both, but not the kind you seem to be inquiring about

Al I sent you a pm.

Plates do wear out in time and need to be replaced.

I haven't seen that many oddities for 75, but I wouldn't be surprised to see stuff like you have if I saw enough of them.

I do have what's basically a 75 green tint, from a cheap box at a show, no fading on the border and no reason to think someone faded just the image on purpose.

Green tints? Another project for Darren :)
