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.

I believe this one is "new". 1967 Jim Hannan with and w/o a black dot in the upper left border sky. Both versions appear to be equally available on eBay.

That would be his shadow.


Is the left card really that dark blue? I don't think I've seen that sort of color on a 72. Pretty neat if it is.

He means the arcing line that starts on the left border of the photo and runs through his right wrist into his glove. It should be easier to see in this scan.

No, it's not his shadow. What are you talking about????

Here's a closeup…

Ah ok, that wasn't visible at all in the two original scans.

1966 Topps #202 Clay Dalrymple with a "pie face", I've only seen three of them since I found out about it a few years ago.

Notice the varieties of yellow paint on these. It is weird that they should be so different. The small arrows point out the vagaries.

The 1966 Topps #73 Jerry Zimmerman can be found with a "green streak" and breaks in the border in the lower left corner. I have seen at least four different versions with varying degrees of the size of the green streak and the border breaks. John Tsitouris was to the left of it on the printing sheet and can be found with a border break.
