Default 1977 Topps notes

I recently obtained a 5000 count box filled with mostly 1977 Topps. For a couple weeks I went through and upgraded some of the cards in my set but also noted many reoccurring print defects (RPDs), some print anomalies, and just some overall patterns to look for if you’re interested in adding unlisted errors to your own personal sets. Some of these have been noted by other collectors in other threads on this board and some are new. Here are some finds:

Special thanks to Cliff Bowman for helping!

One offs. Figueroa and Sambito are more or less just cleverly placed fisheyes.

All these RPDs are making me weak in the knees.

Thanks!

Went through some "unsearched" 77s yesterday and found a few more...many of the same posted previously in this thread though. All Topps except last Dave Hilton which is OPC.
