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

Not sure if this has been shown already, but the "V" just to the right of Gerry's hat appears to be recurring. As I do not recall seeing this font used on 70 Topps cards, I don't believe this is caused by a wet sheet transfer.

That’s pretty wild, the 67 Darrell Brandon and the 70 Joe Coleman can also be found with faint printed letters in the sky

This Arrigo card seemed familiar, but I may have been thinking of either the 67 Brandon or 70 Coleman cards. I don't have either...any images of these two?

The 67 Brandon is actually relatively easy to find, it has 'DI' in the sky over his arm in the sky. I thought I had a scan of the 70 Coleman but I was wrong, I bought one a couple of years on eBay after I first heard about it and had forgotten about it and have no clue where it is. It is similar to the Arrigo.

I have never seen this variation until now. Thanks, now I need to get this for my variation collection.

You're welcome...there were 2 copies on COMC yesterday... I did not look on ebay or Deans though.

Thank you Cliff for the image, I now know I don't have a copy of that Brandon card, but will begin the search.

Pardon my ignorance, what is this COMC you speak of? I looked all over eBay with many variations on searches and did not come across any. Thanks.....

EDIT: I found the site... great another place to spend my money at. I did not see any of the variations though. I just searched on Arrigo but got no variation hits.

Cheers,

There are a couple on Dean’s Cards unless someone just got them.

Sometimes, one variation will yield another and another, etc...

In this case the 1969 #47 Popovich has several well known factory induced front variations. Also known is a version of this card where some stats on the back are obscured. However, what I did not realize is that there appears to be at least 3 versions of the back with light print to completely obscured print....the backs with the obscured print appear to occur only on the emblem visible on front version.

And yes, on the bottom left Popovich card, the obscured print on the back extends onto the top edge Woody Fryman card obscuring some print on that card also.

Thanks, I only saw one and that is all I needed to see. It is on its way to my binder now.

Thanks!!!

I think I have one of the Coleman’s too. Does is look like a scripted Egyptian symbol ?

I grabbed the three or four on COMC (varying whiteness of the V) and will sell them at cost to Net54 members who want some. I think they were between 50 cents and a couple bucks.

See the line through the LEAGUE BATTING? I thought it was writing, but it seems to be a recurring print defect in various depths and lengths.
