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

Somewhere here there is a thread with the same issue involving a different card. If I can remember the card I will try to find the thread

I believe you are thinking of the 1961 Topps Clay Dalrymple, someone here had one with the Phillies hat colored in with a black marker, but that person was convinced that it was a legitimate variation and that it was printed that way on the sheet.

Yes Cliff that is my card. I have looked at it under every type of light imaginable. With a top lighted 100X microscope and the black ink on his hat matches the black ink in the rest of the card exactly.

EDITED to add I even soaked the card for 4 hours and tried to remove some of the black on his hat with a q-tip with no luck.

Burden of proof 2 more scans of black spots. They can be seen on the previous scan

Here is an updated scan of the six versions of the infamous "dot" on this card. Topps must have really knocked themselves out trying to get it right.

The 1954 Bowman Roe is a well known variation caused by the signature of the player above the card spilling down onto the Roe card. There are a few other examples in the set as well.

Adam---I am aware of Rowe and Erskine, do you know of another ?
