Default 1959

Picked some of these up after seeing them on a web site devoted to the 1959 set. Apologize for dark scans...having scanner issues. All are recurring

The Grammas may be a real variation, since the blob appears to have been airbrushed before being eliminated. The Hall has a couple of errant yellow dots. The Finnigan has a black dot on his chin that looks like it is part of the auto but is not and is not present on most cards. It would be clear on a better scan. 198 Davenport...bad back scan, has distinct line extending through back # into bio below. Bessent has a blue line through the 2nd S in his name. Burton 231 (dark scan) has a red tail at the top right of bio box on back. Wise has a red mark under cartoon on back. The Senators card ( dark scan) has a divot out of the W in Washington, a dot above the players to right of Senators and some dark marks right of the logo. These three things are recurring and occur together. On Burdette the L in his name has a tail and on Throneberry there is printers mark, which differs in dimensions, in lower right front border
