The few I have seen over the years on eBay were much more severe where the black ink completely covered Briles’ name, I think yours would be a transitional error. Unfortunately I was never able to pick one up, Al probably has one. ETA: found this scan from WorthPoint.

1953 Bowman (Color) #9 Phil Rizzuto. Rizzuto comes with or without a blue dash in the upper left border. It appears that it is not on all cards, even those with a large top border can come without it. Both versions appear to me to be easy to find.

Discovered this one when I bought a copy at a local show to replace my current copy that has tape stains and doesn't fit into my raw stack well. Instead I discovered a variant and that I need to upgrade and replace my copy again.

This example to show it is less ugly than my copy.

1965 Topps American League RBI leaders # 5 with mantle……yellow smear?

Was able to land a really nice PSA 9 1972 Topps #607 Frank Duffy 'yellow letter' variation (card on the right), and realized there seems to generally be three, not two, versions of the card.

The one on left is the full green version, but between it and the 'fully' yellow version, there is a bit of a hybrid example, where the letter bottom green is lighter, but intact, and the upper green portions on the inside of the letters are almost completely gone...

I assume this is due to a 'weakening' of the cyan ink, because you can see how (most notably) the sky moves from dark blue to much lighter blue across the three versions.
