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
• 1953 Bowman Color BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1968 Milton Bradley HOF'ers
• 1971 Fleer World Series ‘Updates’ (1971 - 1977) in high grade
• 1972 Topps HOF'ers, high numbers and other cards in strict NM shape and nicely centered to upgrade my sets
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set in nice shape with stars and/or high numbers
• T-206's or other pre-war cards (possibly)
• 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.
