The traditional 1971 Topps #306, Jim Nash, variation is shown on the left. It features the infamous black blob floating in space. But I found something very interesting recently, and two examples of it are shown to the right. Along with the usual blob structure, in an infinitesimal number of these cards two additional things occur. First, the top of the blob is hit by a prominent horizontal line, and second, the upper right white border has a thick black mark crossing it.
I've highlighted these two anomalies in red on the card to the far right.
Of course, I know to 'regular' collectors this doesn't mean a thing, because they see it as being too insignificant to be anything other than the usual 'blob' variation, but to us crazy variations collectors it's pretty frickin' cool!! Add him to your checklist.
