This is the first time I've ever seen a print defect/anomaly like that on Lou.

Interesting.

Keep it handy Bob. We will get to # 306 in the 52 Thread in no time

I have also seen one with the white background with the stripes.

1955 Topps Logo
 

Here are six example of the logo cropping issues form the 1955 Topps set. The are #14,26, 30, 50, 70, and 80. Some are more scarce than others.

Thomas---did you and George ever do an article on these cropping differences in the 55 Topps set ? Do you have a list of all the impacted cards ? Think the differences involve DP cards or was something else at work ?

This was George's earlier article on some 55 variants. Not included is the two versions or #2 Williams, with or without the dots in the auto

I am fairly sure that a couple of these are too new to have been in the article. I am betting that double printing is involved, but I notice that a search on eBay and COMC yields NONE of these logo variants, which kind of implies that Topps may have hurriedly fixed the problems so that the lion's share are correct.

The Robinson has been the subject of SCD articles, has gotten hobby recognition, acquired a premium and is pretty scarce. The Rosen seems to be similar. Not a cropping issue and maybe a corrected error. The others are pretty easy and I think George sent me something that included them and others that had similar cropping differences. Not sure if a full list exits. I have several others

So I bought into a couple of 1961 NuCards Baseball Highlights breaks on Vintage Breaks, and won a drawing for a $250 "ebay shopping spree" from their eBay store. Saw this one and just had to have it.

There were 12 ebay watchers on it at the time the item ended when I claimed it. But the card has so many registration issues, I think every color is aligned wrong. It's awesome!

And for being such a famous card, in really sharp condition otherwise, it's a really interesting one for dinner table discussions. I wonder what SGC saw to call it Authentic?

Amazing card John
