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

I saw a 1978 Topps Bump Wills Black Circle error card a few years ago with that stamp on it, it was off grade otherwise it would have been a shame. This is the only stamped card that I own, a real neat 1977 Topps Pete LaCock print error ruined by the stamp.

Darrel Chaney "Green Tint"
Brant Alyea "Spot on left eye"
Jim Nash "Red spot on hat"
Phil Gagliano "Partial blackout on team, name and infield"
Bobby Valentine "Psychadelic blurred version"

We are all familiar with the copyright vs. NO copyright on this one. A late discovery is the card with a blue slash at the lower left side. I just bought an extra version of it and found that the blue slash was on a COPYRIGHT PRESENT version while the others were on the NO copyright version. Therefore, this is a mystery as to how the slash, an obvious error, appears on both versions of the copyright.

Neat discovery Thomas. Similar to the 52 House yellow tiger showing up on regular and gray back cards. Seems to be a cropping differences on the two you just posted too

What cropping can you see on this pair? This is a scan showing only the no copyright with and without slash. I did not bother to include the two versions WITH the copyright for now. Thanks.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the "asterisk Life" version of the '55T Wehmeier in my set. I wish it had better centering, but certainly not unusual for that set. I don't look for this variation since I only recently became aware of it, but a quick check of recent auction results doesn't show it coming up very often. For those of you who follow variations closer than me, how tough is this one?

Thomas-- the insignia on his uniform seems to drop more below the bottom border on one version

No *Life Wehmeiers out of the 50 currently for sale on COMC.

This is VERY rare, but not impossible. It also is known due to the truncated diamond in the logo on the front and no dot over the i in his name. Good catch!

[ALR-bishop]

The logo issue is similar to the also tough Robinson. Since most sellers ( COMC and Dean's aside) don't often give back scans I found Herm easier to locate by looking for the truncated logo. But both are scarce, and maybe true variations

I have a Wills buyback with the circle. I didn't recall picking it up, but came across it the other day.
