Thanks for sharing these, thought I was looking for only one blue stripe Papai, guess I need 2 now!

This one depends entirely on how crazy you are into print errors, but while looking at high number 1972 Joe Morgans on-line lately, this thing jumped out at me. Since I've seen a bunch of different ones now, it is definitely a recurring defect.

Take a look at the 'T' in "TRADED." On the lower right side there is a large round anomaly. With the color seemingly matching the dirt appearing behind it, it's possible this is a 'missing piece of a letter' variation. Sort of a poor man's (which is a joke, because this 'Traded' card is always expensive) 1967 Ed Spiezio. Either that or it is a fisheye...

Good one. I have some Traded or Update variants but not that many. Maybe because fewer people collect them and look for them ?

Are these three cards "true" white letter variations??

As Bobby sang, "Sunshine daydream..."

You can see the yellow in the blue fields behind the name. All look intentionally sun-bleached to me.

Entirety of circle is green, since it got the yellow and blue color passes (as we know from the old Ziploc commercials)...

My first thought too was that these three cards were indeed sunbleached, however, the red in the Epstein hat insignia is not faded in any way nor is the orange in Marshall's insignia....normally the red is more prone to fading than the yellow(perhaps with 69s, yellow fades quicker than red). In hand, these 3 cards appear to have missed the yellow pass on the upper portion of the card. As you indicate each "green" circle has varying amounts of blue which would indicate the lack of yellow in the blue portions. A true "white letter" card would have a solid green circle as do the WL copies in my set.


None of these cards appear on the same row of their un-cut sheet which could explain why there are varying levels of missing yellow from the top down part of the card.

I know there have been scans of the 66 Landrum with button, no button, some button, different buttons, but did not realize ( maybe I am the only one) that Claude Raymond's 66 (586) and 67 (364) show him with zipper down or showing. Uncorrected as far as I know. It is highlighted in the latest issue of SCD

Rare 1954 Bowman Carl Erskine loop variation.

Good one. Lemke highlighted it sometime back in an SCD article on "new" variations
