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

I had not noticed this variation on this card, or others from 69 either...however, the last name "Horton" appears closer to the first name "Willie" on some copies while on other copies the first and last names appear farther apart.

Those are caused bu a slight upward Magenta print offset. It is why the card on the left is a little fuzzy and you can see the small magenta strips, like the one above his belt.

That makes perfect sense....I have several horizontal magenta strips on my copy also

I wonder if they would like to purchase my blue background yellow logo card so they have 3 variations.

I came across this 68 Ribant card with a recurring white print spot to the right of his head.

The 1975 Fred Lynn rookie was a hot card when I was 12 years old due to the white splotch on it. We all kept opening packs hoping to find one without the splotch, but never did.

Then to keep it interesting Topps did a 1990 Turn back the clock, and 2001 Archive card using the same picture, but it still had the splotch on it.

I wonder if the original exists in the Topps Vault without the defect?

At first glance I assumed it was just his arm
