I was going to bid on this card on Ebay because I thought it was an obscure printing flaw error, which I am a devotee of, with a smeared black ink first base position silhouette in the lower right corner of the card, but right before the auction ended I looked more closely at the scan and figured out it was a housefly sitting on top of the card! I am guessing the fly was trapped on the card when the seller closed the lid of the scanner. If it turns out that the card was actually printed that way, it would be difficult to top that oddity.

As a Mets fan, I've always had a soft spot for the 1974 Topps Gary Matthews...
 ...because you could see the sign from the "Shell" gas station at the corner of Willets Point Boulevard and 126th Street peeking over the fence - just to the right of Wayne Garrett's head. The station's no longer there, by the way...

In any case it was much too far away to get in the background of a photo taken from field level.

 . I did get an obscure, possible one of one 1973 Topps Bob Watson printing flaw error card from the same seller with out of control ink that made his face half red. I would say my chances are pretty slim of getting Mr. Lemke to recognize it as a legitimate variation for the next printing of the price guide  .

Red Face
Cliff--Bob has officially retired and if you want the latest and maybe last SCD Catalog, get it now. Watson though might be a good candidate for the upcoming Batman movie. Looks like whoever did Bob red also poured it over the grand stands. Neat card

Topps Proof
Olbermann wrote several neat articles on Topss proofs with all of the oddities in cards then known. It is interesting to read the history on how & why these happened. I will post a link if I can find it later.
