1953 Topps - Checklisting the 'Pedantic Master Set'

[G1911]

I love the 50's Topps sets, and so I just keep buying more and more of every pedantic little difference I see or hear of. The 1953's are my favorite though, the original artwork pretty much the peak of post-war baseball cards in my book.

I know there is a difference between recurring print defects and variations, but both are fun to me and I aim to include all. Blank backs are theoretically possible of every card and I generally try to get them for masters, but don't tabulate them in the count, nor 1 off oddities (though these are just as fun to pick up too). Thus, I'm trying to checklist a pedantic-but-possible-master-set for the 1953's especially here. This is what I have

Genuine variations:
The white/black bio box text backs on every card issued in Series 2.

In addition, 144 Schultz has 2 different patterns of blue in the clouds on his white text back, for a total of 3 cards.

164 Frank Shea has 3 different patterns in the background on his white text card. The black text has no variation. Shea and Schultz are, I think, genuine variations and not RPD's, as the design is completely changed, not just lighter/darker. Albeit, these are pretty boring variations.


Recurring Print Defects:

151 Hoyt Wilhelm - with or without red line in lower left white border. This is visible on some cards without being miscut or off-center even, probably on each Wilhelm in a certain spot on the sheet. It exists on both black and white text backs, making 4 total Wilhelm's.

187 Jim Fridley - the "r" in "Outfielder" on front is faint, the "er" in outfielder is partially missing, or correct. The correct card is the common one, but the RPD's are not that tough. There are at least 3 step variants of this defect, 4 total cards here (possibly more?)


247 Mike Sandlock - White border issue in upper left intruding into image, or correct. Neither is tough, error RPD is a little less common.

That makes 363 cards by my count. Anyone else know of others they would be willing to share?
