1990 Topps Baseball Checklist Variation - Possible New Discovery

[Rich Klein]

Do any of the other checklists have similar variations.

Hi Rich,

Based on my research, only Checklist #1 has the variation.

Did any of your cards also have the black ink missing from the Frank Thomas NNOF error run? Maybe they're part of the same print run.

Hi Swarmee,

I've been checking, but so far, none of the cards, from sheets A* thru E*, are missing any black ink on the front.
Since the Checklist #1 "missing text" variation is located on the D*(Red) sheet, I think it's completely separate from the "partial blackless" cards that are located on the F*(orange) sheet.
I do believe that this variation was caught very early in the print run and was quickly corrected. I have roughly 70 Checklist #1 cards and only 2 of them are missing the "Continued on Checklist 2" text.

Added that line to the COMC Data Base. Keep that type of stuff coming. That way in case the other one ever comes in, the system is ready for the variation.

Great find! I too believe this was fixed very early. There also may be others.

Anyway, funny enough I had decided to check this text out before. Figuring it’s font looked off so maybe some existed with the line in different places or without and concluded they were all printed correctly.
