As many know this year was notorious for miscuts. I was going through my Dodgers team set to upgrade to more centered examples and I noticed a few things. I would appreciate thoughts and feedback.
Many of the cards in this set have white and black lines that appear at the tops of the cards. Assuming these were cut lines I largely ignored them, until I noticed some players have miscut variations with both white and black cut lines like Joe Moeller.
After attaining them I also took notice of the back which appears to have card stock variations of cream and white. I am familiar with "tanning" which occurs when paper is exposed to light and air but this doesn't seem to fit that diagnosis. I went through the rest of my Dodgers and they're pretty close to 50/50 on each back.
Am I wrong or are these indeed examples of card stock variations?
