1969 Topps #214 Checklist: Has a large black and white blotch fisheye over Special.

Recurring? Only one that was for sale on COMC at the time. First 10 I looked at on eBay didn't have it.

I fear a sad day is upon us. Richard Dingman's Goggle site is no longer accessible. It worked yesterday evening, and today it is not there anymore.

At least I was able to scrape a fair amount of his collected data from that site before it went away.

Bummer.....

He is a member here, brightair, and I think still sells under that name on ebay. You might be able to contact him about other access to his lists

I do know that sir and have been in contact with him over the past number of months. He has helped me with my variation fix,,,,er collection for my sets.

Thanks Al.

I can't recall if this one has been previously posted or not, but I found 4 variations of this variation.

First one is a break in the line above the "H" in the stats header line. Second one is the partial obscuration of the "H". Third/fourth, as seen in the last two images, the nearly complete obscuration of the "H" with the last one causing a line break above.

[G1911]

This mark on the left edge is recurring; it seems to manifest a little differently on cards with it, appearing somewhere between his shoulder to his cap.

[jl4jc2001]

Just picked this up.

[4reals]

Most are familiar with the 1979 topps black border missing variations. Some have the entire top border missing, others just a partial. Here is a new one I found, at least it’s new to me. I have never seen one on this number before (#247).

And it is repeatable too!

Nice find.

Not in hand yet, but I was searching 1967 Topps on eBay for 6th Series miscuts when I came across this 67 McNally with the recurring ink explosion on the sign on the right and couldn't pass it up.

[ALR-bishop]

Neat Cliff. Now tell us who Dave was next to

[butchie_t]

Got this 69 T Joe Shultz #254 variation today. Looking at the one on the right under a 10x loupe I can see where Topps actually covered this red/blue streak over. There is a very faint red blemish where the arrow is and it shows up better under the loupe. You can also see some distortion in the area of where the streak was covered up.

My guess is that the Revlon anti-blemish cream was not fully applied on Joe prior to distribution.

I’ve seen quite a few variations of that card over the years, including different color inks

Don't know if this has been listed before but there is a small wedge above the team banner on some cards.

While it is not difficult to find. it is in shorter supply than the normal version.

Mcnally is in C11, at the end of the Atlanta Aces row. Astros RS is above him, Lonborg is to his left, and Mikkelson is below him

Cutout on the top green border near left edge. Recurring.

Good one John

[G1911]

I catalog the red smearing in my collection spreadsheets as “murder scene” variants too. Nice ones.

The government lied!!! There was a third version. Ok, had to have some fun here. So as I’m working on the 1966 Topps set. I like to pick up extra RC’s, TC’s and CL from each year, I just think they’re really cool. I noticed on 1966 Topps checklist 183 a peach streak on the white boarder. I looked through countless eBay auctions and completed, I did find another version so I guess it’s not a 1/1 lol

1966 Topps 183a checklist large print
1966 Topps 183b checklist small print
1966 Topps 183c checklist large print with streak

I obtained a 5000 ct box of 1977 topps recently and had fun going through it looking for RPDs. Too many notes to list here on this thread so I’ll just share one of the things I learned (not my discovery) and let everyone know I posted a separate thread entitled “1977 Topps Notes”

It looks like all 1977 Topps Jerry Turner and Matt Alexander cards were printed that way and it was never corrected, I probably noticed it in 1977 as a ten year old but have forgotten since.

[e6phillips]

It was a blue Christmas for Red Sox fans after the immensely popular Ellis Kinder was sold to the Red Birds in December 1955. Topps captured the feeling across New England in a limited edition “blue Kinder” collectible in 1956.

[ALR-bishop]

Eric — Cardinal fans speak of that waiver wire deal with the same reverence as the Broglo for Brock deal

Is this is a confirmed reoccurring print defect?

[ALR-bishop]

Shane- to determine that just review the listings for Kinder for the next five years. If another one does not service in that time I think you can take it off your list

[Lucas00]

'72 Aspromonte Very strange dot. Color goes over it. Never seen such a large fish eye. If that's what it is.

[JollyElm]

Depending on how crazily (read expensively) you want to chase recurriations, I present to you the 1968 Topps #280 'Cat Hair' Mantle, where two distinct strands of fur can sometimes be found floating on the breeze between his head and bat...

1968Mantlecathair.jpg

This one is definitely harder to find than the normal version (card on the left above), but they are pretty abundant.

[ALR-bishop]

Good one Darren 😩

Nice find, this white streak is recurring. Some where in this thread I posted my copy.

Last name missing on this 1958 Moe Drabowsky. It doesn't appear to be erased.

Nice find! See posts #1552 and #1553 for the other cards affected along with Drabowsky. https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...187722&page=32

I have a 1960 Willie Mays with a Dick Ricketts back. Will post picture later.

[swarmee]

Card 103 in the 1967 set, the Mickey Mantle checklist has two standard variations. 170 is D. McAuliffe or D| McAuliffe (where the period is a streak), which PSA lists as the "D McAuliffe" variant.

Here's one PSA graded as an 8 (so should not have any surface damage) that has neither the period or the streak. Is this a valid third recurring print variation, or just a one-off?

If so, I guess PSA would label it "No period or streak" if they were to verify it again. I think the grader didn't even realize the period was supposed to be a streak on this card, because the variation type is inaccurate/vague in PSA's database.

They are in the same Series, I am guessing the Ricketts back is upside down and off center. That would mean the back of the sheet was printed upside down from the front.

This is not inline with this thread, but I wonder about this and hope someone can answer it.

In the beginning days of the AFL, Fleer issued 132 cards of AFL players only in the inaugural year of 1960. They issued 88 cards in 1962 and 1963 before ending their contributions. In 1961 BOTH Topps and Fleer put out cards with the first 2/3 of the sets being NFL and the last 1/3 being AFL players. Why did this happen and why did they stop doing it the next year? I know Fleer had 220 cards and think Topps had about the same more-than-normal amount of cards as well. Were there legalities involved? I know in 1959 Fleer only issued th eTed Williams set and then in 1960 and 1961 issued stars from the past, to avoid issues with Topps, I assume. IN 1963 they did issue 66 current players but put cookies in the wrappers instead of gum.

Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks.

Post it in the football section. No reason to waste space in this thread.

Here are some various miscuts from a recent purchase. The 1971 checklist is my favorite.

Just want to say that Tom, like John, has over the years made a lot of great contributions to this baseball thread.... and to this important variations effort that includes baseball, football and basketball
