The white band seems more that a brief recurring print defect since it can be found on so many of his 54 cards. It been discussed in other threads here and in pre war

I got back into collecting in late 2010 and started building sets at the start of 2011. The second set I completed that year was 1974 Topps. Not long after I decided to work on the master set, but card 599 (San Diego small print) always eluded me. To be perfectly candid, I rarely gave it much thought and when I did I found that the card was selling for $30 or more. It wasn't that I couldn't afford it, but I was just loath to spend that kind of coin on a common card*
Fast forward 14 years and a good friend just sent me that card, so now I have completed the master set. * It seems rather quaint now that I would be so reluctant to spend $30 on a common since I am trying to build 1967 Topps and am mostly down to high numbers (I'm looking at you, Mike Shannon)

The older I get the harder it is for me to spot/see large v small print variants like that one
 . Congrats on 74 and good luck on 67

1965 Topps
I am still working on my NMt-y 65T set, but I am getting farther away from finishing. I thought I was down to 40 cards, but then I made the mistake of looking through what I had, and I found about 60 cards that need to be upgraded. So now I have 100 to go. Here is my Mantle, and my latest pickups.

Congrats on the 52's and 65's guys. I like the look of the 65 set also. I am 23 cards away from a 55 Topps set, including the print variations. I still need the big rookies and a few of the other stars. I am also about a third of the way into a 54 Topps Scoop set and I already have the Ruth. Good luck hunting for the rest of your sets everyone.

Finally getting closer on completing my 72 Topps Set - 5 to go: Bench, Rose, Ryan and Bahnsen/Reed on the high numbers. Been a journey.
Was thinking of shifting back to focusing on 71 Topps, but may need a break from the high number insanity and will probably work on completing the 78 Topps, instead. Rounding out the tails on a 70s set run - have had 73-77 done for a while.

Congrats on 65 Dewey
Jay---also congrats, the 69 Super set ( odd name for little cards) is one of my favorites....other than that horrible Pete Rose Ben---on 55 variants, have you seen this site ? https://baseballcardvariationsguideb...ps-1955-topps/ Last edited by ALR-bishop; 05-02-2025 at 10:58 AM.

Finally completed my 1959 Topps Set. The last card was #564 Mantle AS. My set totals 612 cards as I have included variations and some print variants.
8511cb48-f2b9-4224-87e5-4f8ee80332ac.jpeg This is probably the last large Topps set I'll complete. The ones I don't have complete either would be too expensive to complete or I am not really interested in the set/design. So now I am working on the set of 1961 Fleer Pennant Decals (have 16 of 48) and 1965 Topps Transfers (have 20 of 73). The 65 transfers are the only insert set from 1965 to 1970 (when I collected as a kid) that I have not completed. Mike

I only have 9 more common cards to finish a high grade 1971 baseball. I needed something to make me crazy.
 My favorite set is my 1967 baseball set. I remember the nuns in catholic school confiscating them from me in 3rd grade.

Dave---depending on which cards and how many they took it might make those nuns guilty of felony theft

My problem is I always have too many sets going on at the same time. I really need to finally wrap up these odd groupings:
1936 Goudey - need 2 cards (Cuyler and Gomez) 1962 Topps Stamps - need 12 1955 Red Man - need 2 (Musial and Mays) 1963 Post baseball - need 13 1955 Double Header - 50% complete
