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

At first I assumed this was some sort of postal variation

I like the 75 Foli. Topps seemed to soak cards with an extra blue layer over everything, but the heavy smears like this are one of my favorite defects.

[G1911]

This is recurring, I have seen others, so I do not think it is some kind of damage to the team name.

[G1911]

I don't know if this was a recurring problem or not, I have not seen another one so I wouldn't call it a RPD right now. The ink smearing bleeds through to the back. I'd love to see another one.

This version of 1961 #520 Joe Cunningham, with what looks like a red apostrophe after "Joe", is tougher than the card without it, but is found without a lot of trouble. There's some on eBay right now.

In hand, examining up close, it really looks like an apostrophe and not stray ink. If it was an apostrophe that was then removed, it would be a 'true variation'. If it is not and just looks like one, it would be a 'recurring print defect'. I needed it either way.

I found this Mike Phillips in my 77 Topps

and while looking for others like it I found this "checkered" variation, I couldn't find any others so I'm not sure if it could be the scan (it doesn't seem like it is) has anyone seen any other 77 Topps with this?
