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

Most every card Post Cereal card cut from a box has at least one if not multiple variations. These variations mainly with involve the cropping of the image (these two copies of this card are also cropped different), but also with variances with the color/brightness of either the background or players image (as in this case). Most of these variances are due to what original product type the card appeared on.

I had not noticed until today that the black left border of this card comes either "straight" or "slightly indented" at top and middle. After a very quick look through available copies, it appears that approximately 9 of 10 have the straight edge. Here are two copies of the "slightly indented" left border.

Notice the triangle between his leg and the right margin on each.

Tom-- I finished out my 1960 set in gray and white back. My gray back is white and the white back is blue. Do you know if that difference always corresponds with the different backs ?

These two copies of Cal's 58 Topps card both have what appears to be a small cursive style "L" just to the left of his cap bill.

This isn't exactly scientific or anything, but if you look on COMC it seems all of the Wagner cards that are missing the blue are grey backs.

[Sliphorn]

The blue triangle is on white back and the white is on a gray back.

The comment is correct. For all 3 years of Post Cereal, the front of the box colors dictated the print. So depending on what cereal box they were on the shades and croppings could be different. This also occurred in the Football set and the 2 Jello sets.
