1959 Topps -- New Variation?

[ALR-bishop]

Dick Gilkeson published a "book" that included Topps variations for the years you mentioned. I recently heard copies are still available, for a charge I think, and that it is being updated. Another poster here Richard ( brightair) maintains a very good list of Topps variations for much of that period and access to his site is free, I think. I am sure there is a link to it in the long variations thread in here, or maybe someone here has a link.

I know if you google "Richard Dingman Cards" you should get a link to his sites

Thanks for posting and welcome

Thank you!

Genuine true variation, another one to add to the set. Thanks for sharing

Nice Find; Even Dingman did not have that in his exhaustive 1950's variation list. I like this one and have broken them out in the COMC data base.

So I have one with Bronx, New York. Is that the normal version?

Thanks!

I would say the normal is the one with the colon, "Home:Bronx" since it's consistent with the rest of the set. The other would be the error/variation.

Not to stray too far from our topic here, but could the COMC database be updated for the 1953 Topps Series 3 White/Black text variations as well? Long recognized in the catalogs, genuine variations instead of recurring print defects, seems like they belong segmented like the 1952 Black/Red's, the 56/59/60 stock variations etc. COMC has been a wonder for variation hunting

I'll check on those and put that on my list to work on. Makes for a fun break from 1989 Donruss and 1989 Donruss Grand Slammers

Those 89 Grand Slammers are cool cards.

Any chance "newly listed" could be added to the search function? That is my only real complaint about COMC. I know I would go back to buying a lot more if that was a search option.

Thank you sir! Separating the variations is a big help; easier to ID variations and the increasing fees on eBay are making me buy more and more from COMC. Love this site
