1958 Topps Kaline with yellow name???

[LEIDEMEG]

No attention was brought to it in the previous auction of the PSA 8.5...ie...no mention of a "rare" yellow team variation in an attempt to squeeze out a larger hammer price. That's what makes it so odd to me. I just stumbled onto the one on eBay and something didn't look right as I always look for just a yellow name when I see the kaline card. Here is the auction write up for the 8.5 that sold

1958 Topps Al Kaline, Yellow Letters #70 PSA NM-MT+ 8.5. This stunning example is as good as it gets for an 8.5 and is in fact is the only 8.5 on record with only 5 examples having reached a higher grade. At first glance, you would think this should have been graded higher as well. The centering, corners, vibrant red hue, bright evenly sized borders are all nearly flawless. Could the one tiny ink dot above the "a" in Kaline be the only flaw? We feel the answer is yes and it may be a very long while before another of this visual magnitude comes along. A very strong NM-MT+ example not to be passed on. We would be remiss to not mention that this is a scarce "Yellow Letter" variation.
