The funny thing about these printing anomaly cards is that years ago, dealers would almost give that stuff away. Today those cards are sought after.

I like those cards because there's probably an unknown story that goes along with them. I wouldn't pay a premium for them, but if something came up at a reasonable price I'd probably pick it up, "just because".

Print errors go in and out of being cool. There were real hot the entire 90.s, I know I sold 1000s of them at huge premiums. A few years ago T206s errors sold for silly money and now not so much.

I've always liked the mis-cut's that capture 4 different cards. Here are a couple backside non-sport examples.

That is a great card Darren.

Here is my mis cut 61 Mantle Stamp and the weirdest 1953 Topps George Spencer you have ever seen.

Yes I know it is just mislabeled and yes I paid a premium for it.

[Bill77]

This will probably be the newest card on the list.

[MVSNYC]

Here are some freaks I used to own, but not anymore. I enjoyed owning them.

Since Scott Ask'd...

[Orioles1954]

FYI - I have a couple of 1970s Topps printing freaks on the BST right now.

Recently acquired

Ryan, have you seen this Chris Browne break down of your card?

And I believe you've seen the same of your Cy Young freak, right?

[Republicaninmass]

Front is centered, not sure how there could be this much space on the back. End of row, or sheet?

Here are a few fun ones (fun for some...you are here, aren't you?):


E92 Croft's Cocoa of McLean with upside down back

1933 Goudey of Luque with Urbanski rear biography overprint on front

1938 Goudey of Medwick with printer's lines

E220 Groh with 3 cards visible (the card on right is Peckinpaugh). This card makes it evident that the makers were not too precise when laying out the sheets. Note the difference in height in the border lines of the Groh and the Peckinpaugh card.

W517 of Harris with reversed image on reverse

1910 Obak of Persons missing color passes

E92 Nadja of Stone with more than one color shift

E91C Delehanty with interesting blue color transfer of grandstands as seen on front

E254 of Flaherty off-center and revealing two of the four lines (on left and at bottom) that bordered the square photo that these discs were punched from

great pieces!

Not vintage but you asked - 1982 was a good year for Topps - two sheets with wrong backs and one sheet with color misprints and wrong backs.
