Have not seen this recurring green streaking on this 72 Ellis IA card mentioned before.....

Saw one of the 67 Bob Bolin variants being offered on ebay for a very large sum in a PSA slab. I know the "variation" has been listed in SCD for awhile. To me it is interesting how some recurring print defects achieve hobby recognition while others do not. I get that some like the Herrer and Bakep made it in before ebay and the internet made spotting print defects so much easier. But PSA's fairly ( no pun intended) recent recognition of the 61 Fairly with the green in the ball on the back apparently indicates luck, persistence or customer status can get you hobby recognition for an oddball card

There has been a guy trying to sell two of the 52 Campos cards with the missing front border on ebay for astronomical sums for some time. I picked up one years ago for virtually nothing. It is more dramatic then the black star version, and maybe scarcer as well. I hope he gets it recognized because then every 52 master collector will have to have it, and the price will take off .

Does anyone know if the editors at SCD or Beckett have made any pronouncements on what they would recognize as a variation, or do they just know one when they see it

I gave this card it own thread and some one found one on eBay .
If you check eBay there are a few with a green Bloch in the same spot .

Just found two 1970 Marichal cards with a blue line under the "SCO" in San Francisco. Not sure how common this one is.

Claude--It looks to be the common version, it may be harder to find one without it

some of my vintage oddities.

1. Mathews with white streak over shoulder
2. Killebrew w/flame to the left of his cap
3. Maris w/print shift: red in team banner
4. Trammell missing a lot of color
5. Munson RC that got no yellow print on obverse

Ben---do you think the Munson resulted from light exposure ?

No experience with 70 Topps but from the picture I would say yes it is faded. The card looks dull and the magenta does not pop with color. Real missing color cards are super rare. I have a couple pictured in the 80-Present January pick up thread. Those are not 100% missing color but the yellow ink was running very low. Notice how all the colors still pop even with the bad phone picture. In one of the Hank Aaron threads I pictured a amazing missing yellow Clemente that really shows the difference between real and faded.

ALR-bishop, those are some amazing finds. The '57s and the Kingman are my favorites. Where did you get the '86 Seaver blue streak? I sold mine a couple of years ago on ebay and have been looking for another ever since.

[benlee66]

1. reverse of Munson RCs (my guess is the back went through the yellow inking twice, hence none on the front)
2. Schmidt obverse
3. Schmidt no name on back, greened out
4. Richard obverse
5. similar to the Schmidt, and was found in the same small collection

Neat Schmidt card

[benlee66]

1. Seaver with pink dot on color
2. another '76 green bleed back
3. Brett with a bruise on forehead (lefthand card). Maybe something like the '73 Kaline band-aid (wishful thinking)?
4. Menke reverse, card on right has small circle below the 1963 at the end of the text box and just above the top of the stat border.
5. Earl Campbell RC with ink blotch (i'm fairly confident it's a printing flaw and not after market damage)

[benlee66]

A better scan of the back of the Munson with no yellow on front. Lots of yellow on back.

I don't think it's sun-faded. Everything is crisp. Wish I could post a higher resolution scan.
