Hi-
I am not sure how to accurately phrase the title, but I was wondering if the same 1961 Topps series had multiple printings? For example, below are scans of two cards of Carl Sawatski. One shows his 5 o'clock shadow as much more pronounced than the other. Below that is a scan of three Ray Rippelmeyer cards. Each one looks a little different to me based on the darkness of the background color.
Is this type of thing common in most Topps sets? I assume there are more out there. Were these caused by multiple printings? I did not find these two listed on any variation list for 61 Topps, but I am guessing it is because of how minor the differences are.
Thanks,
