I wish I did, you got a bargain. I believe the 67 Marichal was in the top row of one of the two Slits, that was the cause of the damage to the name on the back.

I have been searching for what seems like an eternity for the 1970 Topps Alyea
blob (for want of a better word) backed card.

I have the ball and the no ball versions. The only place I have ever seen the middle variation is on the BB Card Variation Guide Book site.

So, is this a one off? Or do I keep looking? I appreciate your inputs regarding this card.

Thanks,

Butch

Butch,

I looked at like 30 1970 Alyeas that I have and all were either the full ball or no ball.

...also sharing some 1967 print vars- while at the same time alerting the yellow print fades police....siren blaring.

Can I retire after finding that Monteagudo?

Best,
Ed

Thanks Ed,

I am beginning to believe it is a one off. Even Mr. Dingman does not have it.

As for your find? "Can I retire after finding that Monteagudo?"

Sorry, rest up a bit and get back in there! Awesome find.

Cheers,

B.T.

I just received this version today. Did not get it for the autograph, got it for the red/green dot on his eyelid. Reasonably sure it is a one off, but it goes in to the book for me.

Eventually, possibly, I will scan all the different ones I have come across. He is reaching Gaylord Perry territory. Larry has a couple that I am lacking and looking for.

Happy Friday.

Off topic

I finally got my cards into binders after many years traipsing them around the country in boxes. Finally looks nice to have them all bound and shelved.

Cheers,

Well, I can tell you about one I don't have, that would be your most recent pickup. None of my copies have the colored spot above Brent's left eye. Definitely unique, great pickup.

I don’t know about that, but I sure could use it as an upgrade, mine is brutal.

Cliff,

Hi I am currently working on a 1967 set; more than happy to trade you the Monteguedo if it can help both of us (not sure of your stock). Should I dm you my list?

Also open to selling it (to buy 1967's for my set) ..retirement still on hold
Best,
Ed

I finally picked up this 71 Topps Ken Henderson variation. I foolishly thought I had gotten one about 3 months ago until it was delivered and it was a bait and switch. Photo was the variation, card I received was not the variation. Not worth it for what was paid to hassle with a return. But, This one is the read deal. Sweet!

Another one checked off the list.

Cheers,

B.T.

Any of our printing experts know what’s up with these? For many years you can find cards with this same recurring ‘green circle with a red dot in the middle of it’ mark. I have a number of them, seems something more specific than random stray ink because of how many years it appears and how specific the combination of colors in the mark is. Just curious
