In checking my set I have the green version and the version you posted above. I guess that means I now have to go out an get a "normal" version ;)

While you go shopping, I think I have a couple more that I have not seen pointed out elsewhere.

1966 Topps #150 Rocky Colavito - recurring green dot on arm (circled in blue, the blue circle is to highlight, not on the card!)

1966 Topps #260 Bob Shaw - recurring white mark below team name. Mark is on maybe 10-15% of the cards.

1966 Topps #113 Hank Aguirre. There's a lot of them here, I don't think what I have at present is comprehensive of this card. I circled the key points to highlight them

Top left - No recurring green dot in banner, series of white speckles to left, and a couple to right, of face.

Top right - single white speckle to left of mouth, single white speckle above object in bottom right

Bottom Left - Recurring green dot in Tigers banner, Oddly color-distorted spot on neck (this neck splotch IS recurring but is extremely difficult to find), single white Spoeckle to left of face, single white speckle above object in bottom right

Bottom Right - Green dot in banner, standard two speckles, the one to the right above object at bottom, and to the left of his mouth.




ALL cards seem to have 1 white pixel to left of mouth, and at right above whatever the object in the bottom right corner is. Some have a wider speckle pattern, which is not too hard. The green mark in the team banner I would say is between 5-10% of cards. The oddly bright-colored neck patch is very, very tough to find.

This series of white speckles is not very tough on Aguirre; it is also present on card 161 of Jerry Lumpe, where it is not so common.

My copy of the speckles happens to also be the well-known print error with the missing wedge from the name banner by "2nd Base". I haven't seen this version on the normal card yet, but have not looked too closely for a copy.

Most 66 Topps cards have the team banner ending at the top before it reaches the black line, though there is a blank spot in the borders black line where the banner is. #173 Al Spangler has a variation or recurring defect here, where the banner extends into the top border, past the black frame of the card top.

There is also a version where the banner is about exactly equal with the black frame line (second picture).

The card where the purple team banner notably exceeds beyond the black frame line has a variation, where there is or is not a red dot in the banner. The version without the dot can also exceed the frame on the left side.

Easiest is the normal card, with banner below frame. Card with banner about equal to frame is tougher but not very hard. Card that notably exceeds the black frame (easier to see in person), is tougher. Seems about 50/50 on if this card will have the red dot.

There are at least 5 different versions here, possibly more combinations. This frame defect does not seem to regularly affect other cards.

#112 Manny Mota - with red spot on cap. This is recurring, but it is very, very tough from what I can tell. Looks like 1% or so maybe

#41 Don Le John has several versions

A) No yellow mark in Dodgers Banner

B), small dot shape yellow mark to right of "S"

C) small dot shape yellow mark above "S"

D) Thin yellow line above "S".

Regular is most common. The thin line is a tough one, and the dots you can find pretty easily on comc - Maybe 15% again. The tougher Line is pictured here as my others are in a different box that I can't remember where I put lol

#25 Pete Ward - with or without a red dot above his cap, near the end of his bat.

Both versions are very, very easy. Maybe 35% have the red dot

#58 Dave Wickersham

A) no green on arms

B) bright green spot on glove arm

C) lighter green spot on pitching arm

Last card is not really a defect, just an example of how vastly the images change through a printing run, with none of the blue tint to the sky, his uniform, or the grandstands

I have not seen a card with the green areas on both of his arms
