I have not seen one like this until about a week ago. And it is headed to my collection now.

Bad news, it's from the scanner setting used by the seller and will only be a normal 75 Topps Hank Aaron card when you receive it. We've had a few of these pop up here on this thread.

Bummer,

Oh well, still a Hank and it was cheap. Thanks!

Are there not some issued 1960 cards where some but not all versions of the card insert extend into the border. Not as dramatically as those above though

Hi Al:

Yes there are released cards with part of the insert photo extending past the border and not. Here is one for example.

Note also the shading difference on the uniform in the insert photo

Fred --I was aware of the Conley. Can not recall if there are others, need to check my set tonight

Great pick up on the proofs. Not as great as your Handley, but pretty great

Anyone know how many different Conley variations there are with the grey/white shading in his jersey? I own like 4 different and I don't think that's all of them.

It looks like a kid had possession of them at the beginning, some are crudely handcut and a couple have the teams crossed out apparently because the players changed teams a year or two later. ETA, I wonder if the same kid got hold of a blue magic marker and wiped out Cincinnati Reds and their team logo on the Tony González card after he was traded from the Reds to the Phillies mid season 1960, the extra blue was crudely done and extends past the border lines.

Cliff: These are all blank back proofs. I doubt any kid got a hold of them unless someone from the printer liberated them from the printing plant. Agree they are crudely cut, but the Gonzalez card you note is not hand down rather the extra blue is printed.

Yes there are. I have 85 pairs of these scanned and that may not be all.

Geez Tom. I am sorry to know that
