1959 Topps set
Doug--I agree with your views on variations, including the 58 Herrer and the 57 Bakep---and the 3d 59 Spahn and Haywood Sullivan ( even though I paid $ for all of them just because they are in the SCD Catalog). Another recurring but rare print defect in that set is the Ramos card. There has been a high grade version of it on ebay for some time with no takers. But that defect is not isolated. I have seen others on ebay and have one myself. But unless it gets listed, only extremists like me who have the sets done and are looking to expand them are likely to pay any premium for them.
All that power Bob L.....

That 1959 Ramos card makes me laugh everytime it pops up in a search.

Further info
Hi again Doug,
I began trying to reconcile your info with other sources. This stood out immediately: Other sources say gray backs begin at 111 (instead of 199) and indeed, that's what the cards in my set show. What I can't get a bead on is the run of those grays. Sources say they go from 111 to 203, by my 199 and 201 are white.

Oops
My mistake, you are correct, and I have corrected my list :
Cards #1 thru #110 have white backs only, including all 3 variations of #40. Cards #111 thru 198 have gray backs only. Cards #199 thru #286 were each issued with both white and gray backs. Cards #287 thru #374 have gray backs only, including both variations of cards #316, 321, 322, 336 and 362. Cards #375 thru #440 have white backs only, including both variations of #416. Cards #441 thru #506 have gray backs only. Cards #516 thru #572 have white backs only. The "master" set contains 668 cards. That's what happens when you do things like this without the actual cards in front of you. Doug PS - I am hoping to have my 1959 set posted to my flickr sight soon. A couple more long flights should do it. Last edited by doug.goodman; 01-21-2010 at 02:56 AM. Reason: because I can
