And here is one that is partially new, on 1955 Topps #80 Bob Grim.

Grim had a wonderful season as a rookie in 1954, going 20-6. Like Jackie Robinson, Grim is known to come with 2 versions of the logo, with the team logo cut off at the top and left or appearing fine. In truth, it's not just the logo - the cards are different cropping everywhere. Looks at his cap, his chin, and it's evident there is a sizing difference and moving of the picture everywhere, like happened the next year with a number of cards as well.

I believe there are actually 3 versions though, before we get to the stock differences. At bottom is the version with the team logo's black border circle oviously cut off at left and top. In the middle though, one can see the top border is barely there, and flattened. At top, the top black border of the team outline is 90% complete. The top and middle cards also have very, very slight differences in the position of the top of Grim's hat relative to the white border. Exciting? No. 3 different cropping variations? I think so.

Now these 3 may be 6 if all were done with both stocks. There are likely at least 5 as the main cropping difference come from different slot placements on a sheet.


EDIT: None of the Grim's I've had have ever had a dot over the "I" in his autograph. Has anyone seen one? Several other cards have variations here so it may be a variation on Bob's card as well.
