1959 Topps -- New Variation?

[G1911]

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.

You mean "newly uploaded" cards on the specific card page right?

I also think the 1934-36 Diamond Stars should be broken apart by copyright year/back color, Rich. ;-) There's a neverending list of variations that I could probably come up with...

The specific term used is irrelevant to me. As an example when I search for a 1958 Eddie Mathews #440 card. When 75 of them show up I want to be able to find the one most recently "uploaded" without having to search through ALL 75 cards to find it. The way cards are listed overall is silly and unorganized but not being able to avoid looking through a ton of cards to find the newly listed ones has to reducing buyers like myself.

Fine -- sure -- whatever -- Send me an email with those and I'll add to the never ending growing list of fun cards to switch out. Today, I had to do some emergency last minute research to close out the day and we figured out some 1934 German non-sports issues need to be double checked. That's on the list as well.

We have someone else attacking a bunch of more modern sets from his end with a long email for us internally so we're gong to keep at it, and at it. and at it..........

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
