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

I discovered it on my own as soon as I opened the pack of cards I had bought and saw that it was not correct. I emailed about it and got the run around.

Thanks Slip, good to know we need to watch out for ourselves on this.
Al - yes, I put my variations in separate pages in my binders with labels on each. Some years now, the variations beginning to rival the regular issues!!
Good advice also to save photo of bought card to protect ourselves. I will try to do that.

The 1965 Topps #418 Johnny Edwards can be found three ways, the normal common card, a version with a yellow stripe along the bottom that is less common but can be found, and a third version with the yellow stripe and breaks in the red ink of the "E" and the "D" of REDS which is very difficult to find.

Here are a couple more examples of printing issues.

Cliff,
There are also variations wherein there is a red smear above and left of hat on front, and also several variations of a white ball either behind cartoon back or over end of cartoon bat on reverse.

I'll be darned, I learn something new every day.

This 1972 Stennett is pretty easy to locate. It comes in both a 'regular' version and a white slash (and other white aberrations) in the area below the 'PI' in 'PIRATES' version.

What's funny is there's also a weird printing defect on all versions of this card. A dark, arcing shape originates from the left picture border and crosses over his wrist and into his mitt.
