Regarding Boone, on my master list, I have a total of 4 cards - on both red & black back - they each have a light & dark olive background. I will have to add Scarborough with pics

Ok, understood.

#200 Ralph Houk - dark pink background, red facial tint & #200 Houk with a light pink background, normal tint

Thanks Irv.

We will need some help on this card. Following are 3 #307 Campos variations - regular version, a full red-star, black-star version and a partial border break version.

Regarding the partial border break variation, there are several variations regarding the number of white/yellow stars on the front. The red star black star variation comes with differing amounts of red and black ink on the stars. I believe Al-R had a partial red-star, black-star variation at one time. This is believed to be the rarest Campos red-star, black-star variation (est 50 in existence).

I am unclear exactly how many variations there are of this card.

Anyone know what the "corrected " partial border looks like?


Yes there IS an answer IMO

Ted,

I have purchased a dozen or so Campos cards over the years since it is obvious there were a number of changes to the border and color separations (or perhaps just printing differences) on this card in particular. Here are 5 other Campos, 1 that is a partial top border, 3 white star variation. Ted, I can't tell any differences in the cropping of the black border on any of the full border cards. This has to be where the variation occurs, right?

Interesting.
Is it safe to say the Campos cards with the white stars are only on cards with the missing border or can they also be found on other, non missing border cards?
I wasn't aware of this variation and since they are very hard to see, I wonder if I've encountered cards along the way with this variation if in fact they are on other cards without the missing border?

One other posted is the "fixed" or pre error version.

The only ones I am somewhat familiar with are the "Front Missing Border", the "Black star on the back" and the partial "Black star on the back" cards.
The number of white/yellow stars on the front is a new one to me that I've never, (or at least don't recall), heard of before?
