I enjoy print shifts as well or color loss. I tend to steer clear of the stray ink bubbles or fish eyes. I definitely pick up crop variations or card stock variations for my team sets. In regards to miscut cards, I will only pick them up if there is random info in the border from the sheet like the sheet designation or pressman notes.

Here are two versions of this card with black marks near his head. It is recurring.

This is a little more subtle, but he has a stain or spot on his left sleeve and body near it. This is only on the left two versions and I included the right one as an example to the normal one where this is NOT present. I am not sure about eBay, but I saw two of these on COMC, therefore, it is recurring and probably easy to pick up. As you can see from the card colors, this is part of my multiple sets that show the color contrasts in this neat set.

This card appears to have the bat come up short at the top margin on the left version. FYI, the version at the right is one with the two black dots that is now known.

A true variation, not a print anomaly:

The common version of this card says "WIN $10"; I had been searching for one of the $5 versions for a long time. Someone posted three at the same time on eBay. I'd have bought them all except that I don't know anyone else who cares...

This 59 Rip Repulski card has a recurring white print spot on the upper left portion of the player's image circle. There is also a small recurring white print spot along the lower right edge. Found one on my end and just one other copy on COMC.

I believe that would be one of those smooshed bug variations that were discussed earlier in this thread :).

Yes, but the lack of an eye-pleasing splatter pattern on this card make those previously mentioned bug squash variations far more desirable.

Bob is my go to guy on squashed bug variants

A recurring print flaw on the 1977 sheet with Robin Yount and Carlton Fisk affected about 48 cards, four vertical rows of 12. I still need examples of Larry Biittner, Charlie Williams, Robin Yount, Bruce Boisclair, Andres Mora, Gaylord Perry, Jim Bibby, Eric Rasmussen, Gary Thomasson, and Ron Hodges.

In honor of Rusty's passing, here is another one of the 48 cards from his group, found this one yesterday.
