Errors & Variation Discoveries Thread
Posted By: Elm
I'm a bit annoyed with the seemingly endless stream of "newly discovered" variations on ebay. Actually, "annoyed" isn't the right word, because it's easy to ignore these snake oil salesmen. As a long time collector I absolutely adore finding variations, but what these people are offering are simple printing anomalies. Usually they're just broken borders or color variations and what not. The sort of thing that always happens in large print runs. I've worked with printers for the last 15 years and plates wear out, colors bleed or run low, etc. |

I agree in general with your definition of a true variation....other examples are the 59 Spahn DOBs and the 59 trade/option, no trade/option cards. But, two of the most famous "varitions", the 58 Herrer and the 57 Bakep, are, by that definition "just" printing errors. And the 58 Yellows and the 69 whites....errors/printing defects or variations ? And what about the 5 versions of the 55 Sullivan (106) and the three of Elliot (137)...print defects or variations ? SCD list a " variation" of card 273 in the 1973 set ( Williams). It is a broken gap. Hundreds of broken gap cards now show up on e bay involving vitualy every Topps issue. |
