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

[Cliff Bowman]

I've mentioned these before but I never showed them with the actual cards scanned side by side. The 1967 Nen is on the same sheet as the three consecutive 1967 cards and is just as rare as those three so I would suspect that it was part of the same print flaw. It appears that the card to the right of the 1974 Dusty Baker is also affected but I haven't been able to find an afflicted 1974 Cookie Rojas yet.

Thank you for picturing the 3 67s next to each other....is the Monteagudo a new pick up for you?

Here are two of my recent pickups.....not sure which cards border the Flood card and if there is any residual print disruption on those cards.

Yeah, I got it recently from a board member who doesn’t post much. It’s a poor mans 67 Monteagudo error, but you take what you can get as rare as it is .

Now I have to move my Alomar that's just like that one out of the "transient printing errors box and into the recurring maybe variations section.

Nice to see another one.

Found this recurring print anomaly on the back of the 61 Topps 151 Donohue card. In hand, at quick glance it looked like a crease, but after a quick check on COMC I noticed at least two others.

I hadn't seen one in forever on eBay but one of the 1963 Topps high number yellow based/blue circle cards with the print flaw of a missing top black border line showed up, a PSA 8 no less. There are eight consecutive cards that were on the top (or bottom) of the original uncut sheet with the printing flaw of missing the top border line that starts on the first card at a little over a quarter inch and then gradually goes down to nothing on the eighth card on the row.

Your eyes for this stuff is amazing Cliff. I thought I had one sometime back as the seller’s scan clearly showed the defect, but it was a stock photo by a familiar ebay seller

Ha! I know exactly which stock photo you are talking about, this one right here. Wasn't it Burbank Cards that used the stock photo?

It goes into Eli Grba, I couldn't find any Fred Hutchinson cards with it so it may not affect it. I spent what seemed like two hours scouring the backs of 1961 Gene Conley cards looking fruitlessly for the flaw until it finally dawned on me that 1961 backs are upside down and that it would be on the Grba instead. ETA: I did it again, I keep forgetting 1961 backs are upside down so it didn't go into Hutchinson but rather it is at the top of the sheet.

Great work Cliff, thank you....sorry for your two hour detour into Conley's domain. Did any of the Grba's that you found with the back variation have the lower right border variation found on the front of this card?

I didn't notice any Grba cards with that front flaw but I wasn't looking for it either. I didn't know it existed, but being on the edge corner of the sheet it's not surprising. Those two bottom cards are pretty extreme. ETA: I found a few nice examples on eBay. It's amazing I didn't notice any of these looking through the Grba cards the first time but my mind was focused on finding the print flaw on the back of the card.

Until you posted the image of the corner of the sheet, I didn't realize the Grba card was on a sheet's corner....the location on the sheet clearly explains these (progressive) border variations and why no other cards exhibit similar missing borders .
