Long story short, I pulled these variations out when someone inquired about my cards, so I am considering trading one. They cost me a pretty penny, so please keep that in mind.
It's the super-tough-to-find
1972 Topps #534 Jim Hickman 'Yellow Letters' variation
(where it is yellow, not green, on the undersides of the 'C' & 'S'). The last one on eBay was an 'underpriced' listing of a very off-centered card and it got snapped up quickly for $124.99.
These are both in pretty nice shape with no hidden flaws and self-apparent corners and centering. The lower card is centered real close to the bottom, which is disguised a bit by the light background (always scan with dark backgrounds, people!
), so be sure to look at it closely to see there is but a sliver of white down there. I am open to trading either of the pair.
**I need to keep one of these cards for my set binder**

If you want to talk or have questions, give me a shout.
This is one tough card to find!!
This is a general list of things I'm interested in and usually look for:
HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's through early 70's (preferably graded, but open to cards in their natural state)
Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Babe Ruth and Nolan Ryan cards
1958 Topps HOF'ers
1971 Topps Greatest Moments
Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
1962 Topps 'green tints' graded 8 and higher
1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
1967 Laughlin World Series (with address on back) in high grade
Major HOFer rookie cards

And who knows what else? Sets, oddball things from the 50's and 60's?? I may be open to a wide range of things.
