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

I’ve ignored the Koufax sand, because I don’t want to buy another expensive Koufax or two lol. So he sits on my list unchecked off

I have no clue on this one, but it is recurring https://www.ebay.com/itm/23224222556...Bk9SR4L6koyfYQ and although the other one is better centered it's priced just a wee bit too steep for me. It looks like the green wasn't printed on the bottom half of the card for some reason, causing the no name error. If the surrounding cards on the uncut sheet were also affected it would seem they would have also shown up by now.

This is a really cool one. “A wee bit too steep”, but maybe it’s something not too bad and I could make an offer on. So I click the link. Lol. Lmao.

Nice find, I am thinking you meant blue rather than green

..you may have to squint a little to make it out but I think I've found out the exact size of the 1952 Topps gum piece in the packs. These things bought Buick Roadmasters and Chrysler Imperials for a lot of dentists back in the fifties.

The top of the error card obviously has a blue tint, but what I was going by is the long rectangle where his name should be, on the regular card it is green with yellow letters, on the error card it is just yellow.

The blue and yellow combine to make green.

We can both edit out our posts so no one will the the wiser.

As I was pondering the case of the wanton posting of Cardinals variations in violation of the new law....and I was considering what kind of punishment should be passed down....

...I was in the process of searching my extras in my collection (in which I found none), and also in the process of scouring the internetwebs to fill the voids in which certain posters shed light on...

...I too have discovered a variation. Yes....it is a Cardinals variation. I have found ANOTHER variation on the 1959 Topps Alex Grammas. There is a reoccurring white donut print defect in the bottom left blue area very close to the photo and directly above the "NA" in CARDINALS. I have purchased this one and it is on it's way to my humble collection.

Also, while doing this I discovered that my "plain ole' regular Grammas was actually the "light transitional blob" version. Therefore I had to purchase a "regular plain" one. It is also on the way.

Having said all of that....since I am now guilty of the same crime of bringing to light further Cardinals variations....I hereby deem the new law null and void. It is now repealed! Isn't that how it's done in real life?

Carry on!

I am absolutely outraged that the Judge has committed the same crime. I am so mad that it is distracting my attention from my other tab where I’m shopping for said new recurring defect.

Perhaps we should instill a new blanket rule. Anyone who has the temerity to discuss a new card has to buy everyone else in the thread a copy of it too.

He has a BUNCH of 1980 Topps cards with no names that I am very skeptical of. I can't think of any logical reason why all of those cards would be printed without names when the same ink is not missing from the rest of the card. I might be opening myself up to a libel case but I suspect that someone either removed the names with an eraser or used chemicals to remove the names. Here are scans of a few of them.

You nailed it. You can see the names are actually still there in these pictures, just very very faint.

The seller can get in line and sue me.

Looked through those 1980s no name cards last night, have one word for them: ALTERED

The Rice is the most obvious one, Rice's missing name should be in red ink, so if the red ink was missing from the top edge of the card, then the position banner just to the left of the name would not be purple but would be blue. Also the red is present in the "All-Star" banner just below. Highly unlikely the red run was missed side to side AND up and down effecting just the area where the name is. Spread this across so many of these 1980 cards, they are clearly altered...my guess by sun light. I'll add a red letter 1980 card to my window.

To follow-up on this post from LY.... I had forgotten that I had placed this 80 T Kobel card in a west facing window in order to see how it would compare to the 3 cards in Cliff's post. Well, below is the Kobel (with the bottom intentionally sunbathed), IMO it looks like the Kobel's red lettering is further bleached than the 3 cards Cliff found being offered on ebay. When compared to the Kobel, it appears to be a near certainty that the Rice, Tom P. and Nettles card were sunbathed to remove the red colored player name and it does not appear to be a factory misprint on these 3 cards.

Also evident on the bottom of the Kobel is which primary color fades first, second and third on a 1980 Topps card.
