Show...me...your print variations!

Patrick---I think that defect is fairly common in the 68s. Ben would note that some sellers offer them as rare variations at high prices, but not always And here is another Hiller oddity that also has related defects in the set

Al, are there other cards, in addition to the Torborg, that have a print defect directly related to the Hiller oddity?

I can’t find it now but there used to be a page on Google of a auction house with a scan of a complete uncut sheet of the series with the 1968 Topps Chuck Hiller and Jeff Torborg, they were side by side in the middle of the sheet with Hiller on the left and Torborg on the right. I forget who was above them, but if either of them were affected with the same flaw I think examples would have shown up by now.

Cliff, I would have thought that something similar on either of the cards above Hiller/Torborg would have shown up by now too....but, it took a while for me to find each of these, so I was not sure.

Ever since I found a 1974 Topps Sandy Alomar printing flaw card missing much of the right border three years ago I have been looking for a 1974 Topps Dusty Baker that would line up with it. I found one recently that I got from D***'* ****S for less than a dollar. Interestingly, the gray border on the Alomar was applied on the final ink coat and is missing, but the light blue border on the Baker was not part of the final ink coat run and is complete other than the missing black lines. Now I have to find a 1974 Topps Cookie Rojas missing border to complete the puzzle.

Nice find on those 74s Cliff, something else to keep an eye out for.

Another ridiculously priced museum piece card from that DC guy
