Two recurring print defects on this one:
1) Black blemish in left banner
2) Red circle fisheye near B on cap

So three variations: regular, one with just black mark, and one with black mark and fisheye.

Hi there,

I've been lurking a while and saw something that might be of discussion here. Saw this 1967 Topps Wilhelm card and the back was discolored. Does anyone know if this is fading or weird ink circumstances? I've seen others like this from different series (no apparent pattern), and one card who's back was brownish. I don't know what to make of it.

Looks like the printing process was running low on green ink to me on the 1967 Wilhelm card.

But it doesn't go with the front.

[MikeGarcia]

Whose names are on the back ? That's very decent for a "two" -- is there a problem we can't see ?

So basically a sister variation to the Jackie Robinson with diamond logo cut off.

There is also a variation of this with white circle to the left of the Phillies ballcap in the diamond logo. I stopped counting when I saw 5 on COMC.

John---here is SCD article on the Robinson and Herm. Note the Herm has a back variation that tracks the truncated front logo. Had not noticed the white mark

While the vast majority of fisheyes are non-recurring, this one on the left side of Pancho Herrera's 1958 card is a recurring print defect. And of course, this one has the other standard defect of the missing A in his last name.

Just picked these up today.

I really like the 72 set for color and there are some great off registration issues in that set

John the Herrera on the left is a favorite of mine

[toppcat]

That Herrera on the left-it feels like that's when the blip occurred that blocked the end of his last name for the rest of that print run.

Yep the one on the left is way cooler than the other one.

Found these today looking through boxes. A ink smudge over the FR in his name. The ink smear is a little darker in hand.
