That Willie Crawford is awesome. Quite a few cards on the 1973 1st Series sheet are plagued by the excessive yellow ink like your Bill Russell. I probably have 10-15 of the 1973 Dodgers team card with that huge black ink blob. It never caught on so like many other non sought after print errors I quit looking for it after a while.

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.

My personal favorites are too much ink/ink explosions and partially missing borders/partially missing black ink which are from the final step of the printing process of a card.

Is this Reuss recurring? Pretty cool one. '73 has been low on my priority list so I'm certainly less knowledgeable on this set than most of you guys.

I never know how to catalog cards like the Cash, the 59 Sauer, where there is a recurring problem but that problem manifests into essentially unlimited slightly different versions. Makes it difficult to track on my spreadsheets my % of completion of a 'total master'.

Yes, but it is very rare. I bought my first one on COMC for a few dollars and then I saw one on Dean's Cards for $1 because they thought it was damaged (paper loss?) and I haven't seen one since, of course Al has one :rolleyes:.

Those three cards are consecutive in the Bob Johnson row of the series 5 issue. Nice find!!

The 67s Cliff posted are tough

Thank you gentlemen, I got a few more to go chase!

Al - what's the difference between the 2nd and 3rd 1973 Dick Williams cards? My eyes must be failing me on spotting this one.

Vern's ear is missing on one and not the other.

So for all the 73 variations you have, do you have a list of them? I am chasing down all the print breaks and am not sure I have found/documented all of them yet.
