And a 94 Stadium Club Ryan no foil...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Fox and Stargel are NOT missing yellow error cards, they are altered. Both of those cards are faded from setting in the sun.

Always liked the dash lines at the bottom on this one.

Jon--- I like the Virdon. Do you know who is on the other card ? Calling DDBeat

Dan, following Ben's point take a look at the 63 Kaline thread on the forum page

Thanks Al. I think it’s Mudcat Grant.

Not quite a printing variation, more of a cutting variation. I don't know enough about how Topps cut their sheets back in the day, so I'm wondering how something like this could happen - anyone know how the sheets were cut up? Were sheets fed into a machine, were blades run through stationary sheets?

I bought this from eBay a few years back - no way it was issued in a pack, so I'm guessing someone took it out of the factory when it was printed in '78.

Maybe Moser could fix it

I have plenty of cards like this from 70s and 80s rack packs. That's how bad Topps' quality control was back then.

Really? This isn't just a case where the image is tilted; the piece of cardboard itself is diamond shaped, with no 90 degree angles. These things were in packs? They must have stood out like sore thumbs and most must have come out of the package damaged.
