187 Ryan Klesko (not sure what the word is)
234 Luis Rivas ("Royals" over the silver Twins)

Those are a real puzzle.

Usually that sort of thing is from the foil roll not advancing and the foiling equipment trying to apply foil that isn't there anymore.

You can sort of see where the foil panels on the sides are incomplete too.

The question though is what card the foil was put on. I'm not familiar enough with 2006 Topps to know, but the font is different, and it doesn't affetct the bottom half of the card.

Foil problems are pretty common in 2006, where the foil is a little incomplete in a small spot, or slightly goes outside the lines. This is pretty unusual, but so few common cards are online, unlike vintage base, that it might be recurring and even fairly common. I did expect to find two more cards from this sheet misprinted wherever this stray text came from, but everything else on the sheet was printed right (since it came from a factory set, all the cards on that sheet is in this box). Odd.

I found this in a box of 1980 Topps. I haven't seen anything like it on any other cards from the set.

There are a number of different versions of the name color variants in the 80 set.

Nice find.

Cheers,

You just aren't looking hard enough then. Many cards in 1980 Topps can be found with this exact type of printing error in their names. Poquette, Braun, Wathan, McEnany, etc.

Several others who only have blue printed names can be found with all or part of their name missing.

The Stanley was first up in SCD over 10 years ago but there are several similarly affected. Braun, Whathan, Poquette and Washington among them. Mr Bowman ( Cliff) I think has mapped them and the Pryor no name progeny in here in one thread or another

Good find

Got these two delivered in the mail today. The only one that counts for this thread is the 93 Russ Swan with the double print Major League Record line. Another variation checked off.

Jr. will adorn my binder edge for the 94 Stadium Club Members Only set.

Cheers,

I went through my 92 Topps recently looking for variations and I found dozens of the typical stray print mark and color shift type of variation but I also found one variation that was a catalog type variation.

The 92 Topps don't have the registration symbol above the Topps logo but I have a Carlos Quintana card that has one.

I also found different degrees of the variation in the cards that I have ranging from a clear symbol to where you can barely see a faint outline of the symbol
to no sign of it at all.

All of these except the bottom example came from packs that I opened 30 years ago.

A few of the more interesting 92 variations I found. There a lot of name shifts like the Palacios but most aren't as severe and the black letters aren't broken up like the Palacios.

Nice find. Definitely a legit variation.
