Awesome and great list Al......

Many of these are probably overinking or registration problems.
Carlton is a solvent drip.

Oddly , the random dots are most likely actual differences on the plate.

Oh boy - I have a gazillion 78's! I never heard of these. Are any of these variations, besides Bump Wills, listed as "official variations" or are these just for fun? And, more importantly, even though I'm now going to spend an evening looking, do any of these variations have any premium attached to them?

[ALR-bishop]

Prominent differences on cards like Carlton and Ryan do tend to bring a premium, the others not so much, unless they eventually receive hobby recognition in some way. While most of these do not seem great candidates for such recognition, how many foresaw that PSA would decide a 61 Ron Fairly with a small errant smudge of green in in the bottom of the baseball on the back should be viewed as a checklisted variation

I just now figured out your zinger, the thread is from 2012 and was resurrected yesterday . I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes.
