Here's another one my personal checklist is getting complicated on. 1955 Topps #20 Andy Carey. Carey is known as one of the other crop cards, with the team logo cut or complete at the top.

To start, I think there are actually 3 distinctly different crop versions of the team logo. Full gap at top (bottom), almost a gap with the thinnest part of the top black circle being almost missing (middle) and almost complete (top).

Second, I believe there are deeper complications with the coloring. The middle card here has the left half of the logo being pink instead of red. Now this is usually nothing, just representative of light ink or fading or light modification, but a ton of Carey's online are clearly this exact same pattern with a pink left half of the logo. It occurs frequently across the different croppings. I think there is something more than fading going on here, it is quite strange that a significant percentage of Carey's would have the exact same precise pattern of red fading on part of the logo in only this exact spot.

Third, there is a pinky purple sheet mark next to the logo on the bottom card that is off center. This is recurring. This bottom copy also has a yellow splotch at bottom right of the red name box, not sure if recurring. The middle card has a white obstruction streak running from top border to the portrait cap. Also do not know if recurring yet.
