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

Just noticed something else looking at the two Snider's above.

Check out the small part of Duke's left shoulder under the right edge of the red Dodgers logo and above the R and S in the word Dodgers in the black band on the bottom of the card. Two different sizes of his shoulder are shown.

I just picked out two on ebay. If you run your cursor over the photos posted to enlarge the area you can really see the different size of his shoulder.

Great spot, definitely two different crops. It looks to me like the distance between the right border and his cap is different too. Your linked examples are both the versions without the black line extension, and mine are both with, so we have 4 different Snider's here, 2 genuine variations and 2 recurring defects.

Interesting that this cropping variation has both coming with or without the black defect. I would expect a cropping variation to be from different slots on the sheet, and that thus only one would be susceptible to a particular small printing problem.

The cards without a stat box shift the position and coloring of some of the numbers.

1957 Topps Dick Gernert comes with or without this black line next to the card number. It is recurring.

Makes sense, the 73 Harrah and the 73 Ryan are both notorious for blue ink explosions and Orta is between them.
