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

I tried finding a second copy of this guy, but no luck. I even checked Richard Dingman's list, no luck again. Anyone else have a squashed-white-bug 1959 Topps Jackie Brandt card?

I think it is a white smashed bug

I stand corrected.

Bob, you have completely mis-labeled the Brandt card....that is the 'pigeon flew over and took a crap' Brandt variation.

Don't encourage him Don

Guys,
I do try to follow this thread and update my online webpage lists every few days.
However, I am still a working Joe and often am pressed for time.
Thanks for all of your searches and discoveries!
Lots of fun!

No one is complaining Richard. Your lists are an incredible resource for the 9 people who collect these things, including me

I sold one like it on Ebay a month or so ago

On or about January 3 to be exact

Found this 1960 Neal card with limited, but recurring blue print marks on the left side of his face....

This 63 Fleer BRobby came today as part of a group of cards I won on ebay....in the images for the listing, it appeared someone had colored the front borders of this card, but the green on the front is actually due to the front having the most profound wet sheet transfer I have ever come across. The green on the front border is very crisp and heavy as compared to other wet sheet transfers I have seen. The green on the front of this card is as dark of a green as I have on some backs of other cards from this set. While I have several 60 Fleer FB this has occurred with, I have never seen this with a 63 Fleer baseball card...anyone have any 63 Fleers like this?

Here are two more print defects on the 1959 Killebrew, two with a blue comet in the sky and one with a yellow bug at the bottom.

A "squashed" yellow bug.

I don't think that is a wet sheet transfer with two colors. More likely explanation is they ran the sheet through to clear the press during some sort of maintenance or set-up and then accidentally used it in the run rather than scrapping it.

Originally, I thought the same thing. But all of the print is mirror imaged (as it would be with a wet sheet transfer). Now, I am not a print process expert, but if the printer ran this sheet through to clear the press and caused this, wouldn't the printed portion appear normally instead of mirror imaged?

This card could also be caused by a combination of a wet sheet transfer (the mirror imaged print) and running the sheet back through the press (the green border) for some reason.
