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 :)

What fun! I've had the Alomar for years, and have it filed as a one time only thing.

Nice to find out it's not.

I had not noticed this recurring print issue on the 62 268 McBride card until today. The white spot in the upper right corner almost seems to match up with the previously mentioned 62 Pizarro's white spot in the upper left corner . I could not find an uncut sheet for this series of 62s, but I wonder if these two cards were side by side based on the locations of their white spots.

I stumbled across this pretty cool color print flaw card on eBay at a very reasonable price (KitYoung of all people), I put a normal one next to it for contrast. P.S. eBay saw an uptick on sales of 1962 Topps Pizarro and McBride cards this morning due to the previous post :D.

I like the Aaron card, have you seen any other copies?

FWIW, I contributed to the spike as I grabbed one of the McBride cards so I had a second copy to put next to my Pizzaro copies.

It’s the only one I have ever seen, I stumbled across it a few weeks when I punched in ‘topps defect’ on eBay and it popped up. I found a partial 1958 Topps sheet with the Aaron All Star on it, it has the immortal Ray Monzant to the right of it and then three consecutive Stan Musial All Star cards in a row. I looked at all of the 58 Monzant cards on eBay, COMC, and DC but didn’t see any with a corresponding ink flaw.

Cliff, you are the man! I don't chime in much anymore due to time and three boys in 4-6th grade but I love browsing this thread and seeing these finds you and the others come up with. Keep em coming!
