Yes I have very light, medium, and really nice versions of the fingerprint on the McNertney. Here is a pic I found on my computer of all 3. I have been drastically reducing my collection so I can't find anything.

I thought ya'll might enjoy these. Are these common? Any tougher then the rest? Thanks, Pat

very nice! Most are massive overinking, not all that common.
The 58 is the most severe batch of fisheyes I've seen.
The 74 Spencer is about as far off as a factory cut gets for tilt. I have a 75 that's way worse, but the person I got it from later said they made it from a scrap of uncut sheet.

I have a very similar looking 79 Schmidt card. While not the same as the card you picture, I have two (nearly identical) over-inked copies each of 3-4 different 79 Topps FB cards. IMO, 1979 was one of Topps' worst years for over-inking....I do not recall previous or subsequent years being nearly as bad as '79 in regards to the over-inking.

I have yet to see a 70 Topps Kilkenny with color in the card's# circle ....while he has not seen a copy himself, Richard D's variation list hints there may be a copy with color in the # circle.

Thank you Ben, I will keep an eye out for the third version as that is the one I do not have.

I didn't see this mentioned, but 1948 Bowman Enos Slaughter RC:



#1 in 17 either has a tail or doesn't. Recurring print variation.

Good one, John

Since we're at 48 Bowmans, I was reminded of this pic I put together from Ebay scans.
The Feller has three different sets of white boxes at the top, or none.

I have the 1948 bowman Feller with the slits and the notes but would like to see what others consider to be the third "box" variation. Thanks.

Nice find John....

I first noticed this one today, may have missed it in the past. The limited, but recurring yellow print spot found on the "N" in Twins

1973 Topps Scipio Spinks has a bunch of broken border variations.

Full borders:


Broken Right Side:


Broken Top (common):


Broken top, left, and right:

With the back of the 1960 Topps 138 Art Mahaffey card, there appears to be two different versions. On the first version, the colored area covering the vitals and statistics panel stops short of the ball containing the card's number, while on the other variety, the colored area extends all of the way to the back's left edge, as with nearly every other 1960 Topps card.
