1970 through 1981 Topps were notorious for being plagued with over inking, I would imagine that's what caused the sloping on those 1975 cards.

Cliff-- you should send all those back to Topps and ask for your money back

I recently noticed this recurring "factory" notation on the left edge of the 63Freehan card....it is even visible on the more centered copy. Any ideas on what the "CP" stands for?

I used way o/c top to bottom examples to illustrate the variation more plainly, but you can find them in relatively minor o/c examples, too. This Mays checklist (non-long-neck version) can be found with and without that horizontal line at bottom left...

Have not seen this recurring bottom border break on this 63 #4 LL card mentioned/shown before....not quite as bad as the missing border seen on the 63#5 LL card.
