Probably already know about this, but saw two of these on COMC. So it's a recurring print defect. Bought them both so if someone needs it for their collection, let me know.

Good one on a major star, John

Looks like a straight color bleed, so it's possible people would think it was water damage if they were looking through a collection and found it. But finding two with the exact same blue smear pattern shows it's a "real" variation a.k.a. recurring print defect. I didn't really browse anywhere else to see if it's already known.
Figured since it was so noticeable and being Nolan Ryan, that it was already cataloged somewhere.

Found this 65 Billy Bryan card with a single white letter "B" (in Bryan) on the card front. Richard D's variation list mentions this card can have "White letters in name on front". There is also a quite small amount of white on the left edge of the "r" to the right of the "B".

My question is that since he seems to infer that there is more than one white letter in the name on front, does anyone have a copy of this card with multiple white letters in the name?

I have three 1965 Topps Bill Bryan cards with white letters, one is like yours with just the B white, one has the Y and the B white, and then a third has many letters white or partially white and the defect also goes into the team pennant. I also have the much sought after 1966 Topps Bill Bryan yellow tint , and several of the recurring 1968 Topps Bill Bryan star burst print errors. There is also a recurring print error flaw where the 1965 Topps Curt Simmons has white letters in his name but I don't have one of those.

Thank you for sharing those Cliff, quite interesting. The 65s Bryans WLs seem to be fairly rare, especially considering that the Bryan card is one of the most common cards from that set(IMO). Also, the picture used on the 66 card was clearly taken within a very short period of time from when the picture used on the 65 card.
