Show...me...your print variations!

This one might be already well known but I wasn't aware of it. While looking at 1961 Topps 6th Series cards on TradingCardDataBase for another reason I noticed they had this card listed as a variation, 1961 Topps 473 Bobby Shantz with and without a green circle on the back of the card. I think it's a neat recurring print flaw but I wouldn't consider it a bona fide variation.

What causes that type of defect? And would you expect others in that series to exhibit similar defects?

1961, #519, Pags can be found both with and without a blue swirl by the catcher's mitt. It is easily found.

That is awesome, the color shift cards are among my favorites.

Ok, here’s an expensive one that I just ran across while looking for my 1972 topps Nolan Ryan. Missing ink version? Smuggling on the plate? Here’s 3 different cards

Checked my set and did not have this one. Just picked the variation up on Ebay. Many available.

Thanks!
