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

Those players or the printers.... or both ?

Where were you in 1964 ?

Hi-
Here are a few print freaks I have found recently. The 72s look like the 64s posted above. My scanner is having some issues, but two of the 76 Topps cards have green covering the name area on the back, and one has some sort of white mark in the name area. They are not as dark as my scanner shows, but the green completely obscures the player name on the back.

LOVE those last two shares! Exactly the stuff I try and chase when I think of print variations!

Here are four of my new arrivals: 77 Blue with partially missing lower left border, 59 Conley with yellow blob, 72 Killebrew wrong back (Astros Rookies on the back, miscut), 81 Lynn crazy miscut.

i am not a variation guy at all. not to say, i don't have extreme respect for folks and their eyes that can find this type of stuff.

...i still cant find waldo.

with that being said, not sure if this is a noted one or not, but i thought something looked off on the 61 koufax card.

it took me a while, but then it hit me. the "A"s in "sandy koufax" are filled in w/ white.

not a scanner fill in, card is in hand.

There's a recurring anomaly on 1972 Tom Timmermann cards. On the upper half of the right side white border, there is a short, black, vertical line and a little ways down from there is a deflated balloon shape and some random lines.

Here are three separate cards containing these anomalies…

Neat Koufax variation! I never noticed one like that before. Did you ever notice the magenta square in the lower right corner just under his arm? I believe it's an uncorrected print defect. I've looked unsuccessfully for a variation without it but have never seen one.
