Sorry, I meant to say 1967 (it has been a really long time since I've purchased any Topps or OPC cards). The 1967 second series checklist has at least two variations - with a dot or with a line for McCauliffe's name. The only supposed variation for the card that I have not seen is where the period is completely missing but have not seen that for the Topps sent either.
My point is simply that there is at least one minor error that was corrected in parallel with the Topps set, so it would not shock me if there were more. Not sure how the printing process varied over the years though.
