A few print defects I found in my collection.

[philliesfan]

Whenever I find something like this when I open packs, I always set them aside.

The Polidor is an obvious ink smear.
The Gott sort of looks like a thumb print but is probably another ink smear.
The McRae looks like a piece of paper interfered with the printing.

I figured the blank spot on the back of the 1982 Fleer Hal McRae was from a piece of tape holding it in place during the printing process on a flat area and the card was at the bottom of a sheet, sure enough here's a scan of an 82 Fleer sheet with McRae on the bottom row.

Those are cool defects.

The Polidor is from the very first printing where the die cutting mat had gaps, leaving those little tufts of fibers on the corners.

The Jim Gott doesn't look like a print defect, rather damage after the fact. There are various solvents that one could get their thumb on (and it shows evidence the damage is caused by a finger or thumb) that can cause this type of thing. I still like them all the same but I keep "damaged" cards separate from printing errors in my misc card binder.

Not sure about the Gott, but there a few cards which I think do have production process finger prints posted in the never ending variations thread. They were recurring but not on all versions of the cards
