Shouldn't this read, "reverse," not, "obverse?"

I thought the same thing until I looked it up.

"Obverse and its opposite, reverse, refer to the two flat faces of coins and some other two-sided objects, including paper money, flags, seals, medals, drawings, old master prints and other works of art, and printed fabrics. In this usage, obverse means the front face of the object and reverse means the back face. The obverse of a coin is commonly called heads, because it often depicts the head of a prominent person, and the reverse tails"

Will be home next week Irv and will check my two versions to see if one has the mark

What immediately jumps out at me is the topmost star in the left column (under the Dodgers logo). On one version it is nearly a full star, all yellow and what not. On the other version, most of this star is blacked out with just a crumb of yellow present.

Don't get too much sun!

Good eye!

Not sure if that means much however as I have seen quite a few anomalies like that, especially with the team logos, on a lot of these 52 Topps cards.

I'm confused. Aren't the stitches on the back of the card?

Hence the reason I thought the word, "reverse" would be correct.
