Indeed it appears that I have too much time on my hands....I guess I need an additional hobby.

Al, sorry to cause you more work on your (apparently never ending) goal of locating every variant...these two should be easy to locate as they appear to have a 50/50 population.

Had not seen this recurring print variation mentioned before: the small round circle inside the left, white border area of this 68 #218 Suarez. This circle appears to be on less than 10 of the 100+ copies on ebay.

I have been flipping through boxes of cards and found this 1973 Topps Norm Cash with a broken border.

There are several of those defects in the 73 set, and in many other sets. At one time Bob Lemke had several listed in the SCD Standard Catalog, including a 73 Buddy Bell. But as I recall he eventually modified his definition of cards he would include as variations in the catalog to exclude unintentional recurring print defects, and he removed several "variations" from the catalog before he retired

But the Bell border gap in in the PSA master checklist for the 73 set

In going through an old stack of 59s, I came across this card. The first thing that stood out was the missing "T" and partially obscured "U" and "F" in the word "OUTFIELD". Looking at the card closer, there is no luster to the card and it is slightly short l/r and t/b. The back is more of a cream color. Any ideas on if this card is simply a regular 59 Topps with a print variation on the front or a 59 Venezuelan Topps card?

That is definitely a 1959 Venezuelan cream back... and in great condition relative to how most of those Venies look. I have one of those and it does not have the printing error that yours has. Nice card!
