1959 Topps -- New Variation?
First time starting a thread on Net54, so hopefully doing this right. A couple of questions:
1) I recently noticed a variation for card #44 Vito Valentinetti that doesn't seem to be listed along with the more well-known "optioned/traded" variations, or in the "Master Set" registry. Not super clear which is the more/less common version from a quick check on eBay, but one is missing the colon between his hometown location ("Home Bronx"), while the other does have the colon ("Home:Bronx"). 2) Where is the best place to find a complete updated list of variations for the vintage Topps base sets 1952-1985?

Nice find, that’s a legitimate variation.

Any idea which is the less common one?
And where to find a good overall list of Topps variations? Last edited by JUrsaner; 11-11-2019 at 05:21 PM. |

Looking at all of the copies on COMC, it looks like it’s roughly 50/50 with neither one rare.

It was probably the ole double print bugaboo. If two appeared on the same print sheet, one with and one without said colon, it would have led to a relatively even split of the two variations. Cool find!!

Just checked the one in my set.
It has the comma also. So do the others around it. I didn't see a colon. Last edited by avalanche2006; 11-12-2019 at 06:31 PM. |

The variation is the ( colon or absence of ( colon after HOME .
For example : 1) ( Home or 2) (Home) Note: Nothing to do with comma !
