This card has two version; copyright left or copyright center left on back. In checking those two in my set the defect Darren highlights is on my center left card. Does it appear on both versions or just that one ?

1972 checklist
 

Perhaps one version of the checklist is from series 5 printing and the other from the series 6 printing

Those pics are just screengrabs, so I don't know which version(s) of the back they have, but there are undoubtedly some found on COMC where the backs can easily be seen.

Show...me...your print variations!
 

Anyone know how common this is with the 1971 Topps?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3277039bfc.jpg

You mean the oversaturated orange? My guess would be it got a second pass through one of the inking stages.

Ah, thanks for the explanation...seems right.

For future questions, I would recommend 1) uploading smaller scans and 2) giving us your actual question, instead of making us figure it out based on your crazy oversized scans... ;-)

I for one like the crazy oversized scans! There's so much I can see that just can't be seen on smaller scans.

There are some minor back variants in some of the Leader cards in the 91 Topps set involving either a complete or broken circle around the MLB copyright. Neither are apparently hard to find, but if you have old eyes, they are hard to see. I could not make them out with the scans on eBay or COMC. A fellow board member was able to send me what I needed ( the Hasselhoff Cheesburger man), and even in hand I needed a light and magnifying glass to see the differences.

It is of course ridiculous to care about such differences in cards, but since I do, I appreciate bigger scans as I get older. But they do distort threads when posted. I can still remember, as a low tech guy, being stumped early on in how to size pics for posting. It still presents problems for me on occasion

Like Al, I like the larger scans when details are hard to see .... even in hand.

But if there is a need to use a larger scan to see specific details on a card, at least crop down the image to just the card itself.
