Joe W., that looks more like the tentacle of an octopus extending over the back of poor Milt May's card.

I can see that. Or the tail of a tadpole.

Bought a 71 set from the same seller Darren bought his WL Pirates team card from and found this 582 WL card.

To quote Darren directly from his post in the May PU thread "It's a true variation, as it is not sun faded or missing the yellow ink from the entire card, and looks identical to all of the other Pirates Team cards from that year (with obvious yellow usage throughout) with the exception of the color of the word "PIRATES.""

This Cash card would carry the same description.

Unfortunately, the Pirates TC is more of a "yellow-lessing" version (faint yellow letters). With the Clemente card, the letters are as white as the Cash card, however, there appears to be a yellow print line of sorts on the lower, far right part of the card's image....almost like the yellow run did not make it across the entire card just along that edge of the image.

Been gone awhile, so it's good to see that Cash card. Great pick-up!

It's strange with these sorts of things, because although your eyes, scans, pics, photoshop level adjustments, etc., tell you it is, in fact, missing the yellow in the word "PIRATES," you (at least I) still search for a reason to conclude it is not an actual variation. Such is the depressing life of an E&V collector.

Thank you, and yes, after seeing one in hand I agree it could be easy to dismiss this as an actual variation....clearly not though.

I wonder if these WL cards are only seen on Pirate cards in this series?, on Pirate cards in other series also?, or other cards from other teams in this series?

My last question is why have these WL Pirate cards not surfaced previously....was the source a hoarder?

Nice - you got one!

PSA is now recognizing the bandage variation - there’s a “6” listed as an auction on eBay. I have a cross-over to send in now, and yet again PSA has figured out how to get more of my $.

While looking through 1967 Topps 6th Series cards I figured there had to be some cropping difference on the #531 Checklist (Brooks Robinson) because it was printed on the 6th Series sheet and the 7th Series sheet. I found at least one, on the 6th Series sheet card there is a small gap between Robinson's chin and the black line, on the 7th Series sheet card Robinson's chin barely touches the black line with no gap.

At least I don’t have to go out and get one of these 😊

How many checklists, if any, from 1960 to 1973 have only one version
