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

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 .
