Default 1969 Topps Background Color Variations
I recently picked up this 1969 Topps Don Meredith on eBay. If it looks a little odd, it's because the background color is blue instead of the normal green. Everything about the card looks legit, and there doesn't seem to be any missing colors during the printing process to cause this. I can't find any info on this background variation for cards in this set. Does anyone know anything more about this or know how many cards may have different background color variations in this set?



The normal green background Meredith...

Looks like it missed the Yellow color pass, neat card.

Agreed. If you look at the 'green' card, the yellow is very prominent in Dandy Don's skin tones (and obviously in the background mix of blue and yellow to arrive at green). On the 'blue' card, they're altogether missing.

99.99% of the time cards that should have a green background that is blue are altered.
