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 ?

From memory it had part of a word in fancy script like the Arrigo in the upper left corner in the light blue sky. Hopefully you have one so I don’t have to go on an expedition to find mine. ETA, I thought the Arrigo and the Coleman might be side by side on the sheet but they are probably in different series with the number differential.

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.
