1948-leaf-collecting printing flaws

[mightyq]

hello fella's,
other than collecting the usual printing variations does anybody collect a particular card that has many printing flaws. i call them flaws because they are not really considered a documented variation. i have scanned my joe dimaggio cards that i have found with flaws, i am looking for any joe d's with flaws that are obvious. notice the one joe d with his cap a light blue with a red rim, and also a yellow glow that surrounds his back/body.all 3 have different blue sleeves. i really enjoy the green background and the yellow background ones. i would imagine the pea/green is his normal printed card intended for the set, and the yellow a variant. is anybody else searching for leafs like this? if so would love to hear and see what you got.

i did start a thread awhile back about the variations of the set. this is not what this ones about. this is just to show a fun way to go after some leafs and also see if anyone is doing the same. i would imagine ted z has seen them all. any interesting cards with flaws ted? please post some pics if you do, would love to see them. .....again..... not the usual variations guy's. just cards you may have found to be different.

Hi Marty

Here are some of my 1949 Leaf color printing errors. Most of the 98 cards and the 3 variations in this set have been found
with color printing flaws. My Billy Johnson is probably one of the strangest printing flaws....however, it's back is normal.

I just started this monster and am already facinated by print variations. Thanks for the posts.

I have been collecting the set too and I like that you can choose which variations you like best and then go after it. There was also a white BG Musial that sold last year--I forget which auction. I am collecting the boxing set entirely composed of printing gaffes; it is a lot of fun, actually. Here are some of my favorites:
