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

I had never seen the Mazzilli or the Revering before but I knew they had to exist because they were next to the Niekro and the Clark on the 1980 D*uncut sheet. I found both of them recently on eBay. I can't remember if the Jones and the Vail from the 1980 B* uncut sheet have been mentioned here before, but it has the same flaw as the Niekro-Mazzilli.

Thanks for the responses on the Yount, I think you are dead on. But what about these two? The Butkus has a dark strip near bottom, so not a sticker/sun fade issue on this? Missing ink? Thanks!

Same as the Yount, sitting in a sports card store glass display case faded by sunlight. They both have the rectangle in the upper right corner where the price tag protected the small area from sunlight fading. Apparently both cards had the bottom edge covered by another card or something else that shielded the sunlight.

All of the 1979 Topps baseball with 1978 backs were either handcut or or more professionally cut by a third party well after 1979. They were only made as a practice run in 1979 with left over 1978 backs and were never meant to be distributed but some of the sheets made it out the backdoor.

Thank you Cliff, as always, spot on input.

Besides the 73 Topps with the wacky backs, how many other Topps issues from the 70s-90s can be found with a different issue on the back due to scraps getting out the back door? I have one of the 91 Topps cards with a baseball front and a FB back, but was not sure what other years may have something like this.
