I am very certain that it was printed on the card and is residual from a 1969-70 Topps Basketball Detroit Pistons card that was still on the printing plate, similar to the 1967 Topps Baseball 2nd Series cards that can be found with those fold out comic book images on the front. Unfortunately my home computer is down and I can’t show a scan of a 1969-70 Topps Basketball Detroit Pistons card, I’m just glad I was able to get it to work last night and post the scan of the Coleman card.

That's very strange!

For the early printing done from stones they erased them and reused them, but I'm having a hard time seeing how the coated aluminum plates used in the 60's-70's could have been resurfaced or rexposed to make a different plate.

I wonder if they were using old partly printed sheets somewhere in the production process.
Or maybe using a blanket that was so worn the image was still there, worn into it from a previous job?

Or..... just maybe they used old plates for the glosscoat?

(This may now be common as the presses make the plate digitally without needing to mount a new one)

Very similar error to what happened with Magic: The Gathering card game 20 years ago.

I've been looking for this Kaline Band Aid card on and off for a few years since learning about it on Net54. It showed up on ebay a few days ago for a really good price. Excited to get it.

I don't remember hearing about this card back in the day (collecting in the 1970s/1980s), when it seemed like there was lots of attention on error cards. Was this card well-known/collected for years? Or did it only more recently get attention?

Beautiful card which looks great for the listed grade. Can't believe it didn't at least get the half grade bump for solid centering.

Like many variations the first I heard about it was from an eBay seller, on this one I'm guessing 7-10 years ago. I saw his listing and was skeptical until I saw the scan and was instantly convinced it was a legit variation. Hopefully Darren (JollyElm) can recall when and how he found out about the 73 Topps Kaline Band-Aid variation.

Very nice card. Most are way off center.
