1965 Topps High Numbers Question

How do you tell the difference between the large print & small print on the 7th series checklist variation if your not holding them next to each other.

With luck or better eyeballs than I have.

Seriously, this one I struggle to see even with several in hand. The best tell, I think, is to ignore the front print and look at the gap between the baseball on the back that contains the card number, and the blue bottom border.

Large Print and Small Print. Not sure if it is my eyes but the "m" in #572 Orioles Team looks a bit cut off in the small pribt version.

Mike---just checked my two and agree the m is a little truncated on what I would call the version with the darker print on the front. Note that the version with the defective m also has a larger area of yellow below the names than the other version. I find that the easiest way to distinguish the two fronts

Aha, I see that now, otherwise I looked and looked and couldn't find any differences.
