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

#560 Cuellar comes with or without this little black line cutting from the Baltimore banner through the upper left of the orange frame. Not very difficult.

Big white streaking/splotching/whatever at left of photo is a recurring defect.

I just added the 72 Jim Hickman Yellow Team variation to my collection. I finished the base set last week and my master set is done now with this acquisition. A little corner ding but well centered and nice. SWEET!

Congrats Butch

Since we've posted some football in this compilation too before, he's a big one I never see mentioned. Big white splotch is recurring but tough.

I have been on the lookout for the following 73 Topps cards with border gaps:

128 Ted Sizemore
504 Ed Williams
508 Gates Brown
596 Red Sox Team Card

So far, I have not run across any of the gapped versions. My questions to the variation experts here are:

For 128, 504, and 508. Are the border gaps on these respective cards the same type of many of the others? Double gap or single gap, or is the gap completely different for these cards?

For 596 is the border gap on this card the same as it is on the Giants Team Card or is the gap break in another location on the border?

Have not seen any of the above so far and am wondering, frankly, if I am looking at the cards wrong or assuming that the breaks are basically the same.

A little help please.

Thanks,

Butch

And if someone here has some extras hanging out on their end, I am happy to entertain a trade or a purchase. Along with the Reuss and Fosse smudged versions. Condition is not a condition for these specimens.

Regards.....

I think the Williams was listed in the SCD Standard Catalog before Bob Lemke quit doing border gaps. By Gates Brown do you mean 508. On Williams and Brown the gaps are on both the left and right as is the case for many of the 73 gap issue cards

I do not have a gap for Sizemore, maybe Cliff does. I do have the two below. Note the cleaner version has a green streak in upper left just below white border
