Speaking of Roy Face, there is supposed to be a recurring 1967 Topps Roy Face printing error that is partially missing his name on the back of the card. I have heard of this card and seen it in want lists but have never actually seen evidence of one. I have also heard of, but never seen, 1959 Gus Triandos missing stats on the back, 1965 Turk Farrell with a large ink blob on the front of the card, and 1975 Ken Sanders with a large brown area in the lower left corner. If anyone has one of these, please post a photo of it.

Thanks.

Guess those bidding on the card I posted think it is something special based on what they are bidding on the card for.

No harm in trying to bump it up I guess?? ;)

1928 Harrington's with and without the apostrophe. Also the backs can be different by an extra offer

just picked this up. lower left quarter panel is entirely white...

Variants
 

Finally we have a real variation man in this thread :)

....welcome

thanks I do many variations and the miscut, faded, etc. are not variations. those are factory errors and mainly worthless. example of a true variation is the 1967 bolin white streak. a miscut card of a 1968 johnny bench rookie card showing half his face is worth zero unless you use it as a conversation piece showing on how bad quality control was back then.

Variation
 

What is your personal definition of a "true variation " ? :) Do you think the Bolin was an intentionally corrected error or an unintended recurring print defect, and in either event how could one tell....or does it matter ?

+1. Nearly all of the 1967 Topps "variation" cards are actually just printing flaw error cards. These include the frontal errors of Bolin, Spiezio, Nen, G. Brown, and the back errors of Marichal, Queen, Belinsky, Phillies Rookie Stars, and Gomez.

The 1967 cards I agree that they are "printing flaws" but they we corrected. I do not recognize such errors as miscuts, print dots or faded. if the printing company made a correction, then I believe it is a variation - 1969 white letters - 1966 purple tree Heffner. this could be argued all day long.
