And Bob Gibson has black splotching in upper right, black dot in upper right, and black streaking in upper left as well as a clean card. I think the dot is fairly tough, but it is recurring.

Can you tell which set I've had out today? ;)

#258 Tommy John has black streaking or a single vertical black line in the lower right by the position bubble. It can be found in many, many different varieties, probably well over a dozen patterns. Here's just one example image. It's easier to steal COMC scans than to edit my phone pics to meet Net54's low-quality only image limits.

296 Jose Cruz can be found with damage to the black in lower left. This is recurring; not just a one off with a poor black ink pass. Fairly tough.

397 Dave Cash has this blue streaking from his arm down into the name and team name. Recurring (10% maybe?), on a minority of cards.

Anyone have a list of the border break cards in the 73 set?

The way it looks one could just about complete a base set and a separate variation set of the 73 Topps set.

I picked up this version the other day. Bottom coach has a hat and not much else.

I have around 15 of the 1973 Topps Dave Cash roller mark print errors, everyone one of them is different than the other. The 1973 Topps 5th Series 397-528 is plagued with recurring print errors, the Jerry Reuss seems to be the rarest.

Cliff, since you brought up the roller streaks I have a question. I always considered these to be in the no big deal category because when I have time to sift through vintage commons they are abundant but since you have 15 of them it sounds like you collect them to some extent.

My question is, and I ask this of anyone willing to respond, what are the least interesting or least desirable print variations/anomalies to chase or add to your collection and which are the most desirable?

Fisheyes/bullseyes?
Roller marks/streaks?
Random border dots?
Smeared ink?
Solution spills?
Ink transfer?
Ghosting?
Offset color creating a border void?
Offset color changing the color of an object?
Missing ink?
Border breaks?

These are not the only options, feel free to add something I may have neglected.
