.....not quite the fame of the Gene Baker/Bakep but I love the serendipity ...or maybe the printers were just bored one day....

...the slab is the old ''PGS'' from the early days of grading companies in the 1990's ; they are no longer in business , for many years now..

Hey Mike. good one. Can not tell from scan, is the word, pitcher messed up too ?

Yes it is
 

----yup , good eye--- the bottom of the ''p'' is gone , the cross of the ''t'' is missing and the bottom of the ''r'' isn't there either...looks like ''Diicher''...

In flipping through some 71's, I noticed this #251 Reberger card has a small loop on the upper right area of the white border around the image. This variation seems to be just a small one, but I found just one copy on COMC, and following a very quick scroll through the ebay listings I saw just a few there.

The 1971 Topps Frank Reberger can also be found with a recurring large ink blob next to his face.

1966 Topps Lumpe
 

The 66 Topps Jerry Lumpe apparently has an unlisted "white wedge" variation with a white streak in the yellow box just above his position. They don't seem too extremely difficult to find but some sellers have them listed high to see who will bite.

Here is a nice PSA8 graded example for those completing master set runs:

Here is a decent autographed one I would jump on if I were a Tigers collector or auto set collector:

There is a recurring print defect in his 52 cards as well. It was listed in the 52 Super Set by Huggins & Scott

The Lumpe and the 2 Rebergers are not too hard to run down

Nice, Al. Tough to find those cards with back defects since mist ebay sellers don't provide back scans anymore.

....don't know if this was reported before : the line above the name box is yellow on the white back and a thinner blue on the gray back...see it ?
