Your eyes for this stuff is amazing Cliff. I thought I had one sometime back as the seller’s scan clearly showed the defect, but it was a stock photo by a familiar ebay seller

Ha! I know exactly which stock photo you are talking about, this one right here. Wasn't it Burbank Cards that used the stock photo?

It goes into Eli Grba, I couldn't find any Fred Hutchinson cards with it so it may not affect it. I spent what seemed like two hours scouring the backs of 1961 Gene Conley cards looking fruitlessly for the flaw until it finally dawned on me that 1961 backs are upside down and that it would be on the Grba instead. ETA: I did it again, I keep forgetting 1961 backs are upside down so it didn't go into Hutchinson but rather it is at the top of the sheet.

Just got these cards...the version on left seems to have gray tones in the yellow border.

Great work Cliff, thank you....sorry for your two hour detour into Conley's domain. Did any of the Grba's that you found with the back variation have the lower right border variation found on the front of this card?

I have not seen the grey tones in the border before....here are two Stallard cards I have, one with a print defect on upper portions and the other with excess red ink on the lower portion.

I didn't notice any Grba cards with that front flaw but I wasn't looking for it either. I didn't know it existed, but being on the edge corner of the sheet it's not surprising. Those two bottom cards are pretty extreme. ETA: I found a few nice examples on eBay. It's amazing I didn't notice any of these looking through the Grba cards the first time but my mind was focused on finding the print flaw on the back of the card.

Until you posted the image of the corner of the sheet, I didn't realize the Grba card was on a sheet's corner....the location on the sheet clearly explains these (progressive) border variations and why no other cards exhibit similar missing borders .

Neat cards Larry. This is one of my few non Topps/Bowman/Fleer sets. I have the 4 Hal Smith, 6 counting the other guy, and a couple of other front oddities, but had not seen any back variants

thanks Al these are all high numbered cards "overstruck" with low numbered cards pretty unique all recent pick-ups.
