Many Posts come like this, with hugely different aesthetics, like Pancho who is red in one card.

There's a real variation here though, the pictures are different. Note the cropping at his hand.

Nearly every Post cereal card has some form of image or cropping variation due to the boxes the card originally appeared on. One exception would be from the 1961 Post team perforated cards, I have not seen cropping/image variations with those. Not to say they don't exist, I just haven't seen them.

Several members here are experts on all of these Post/Jello variations, including one member who has published his own book on this topic. IIRC, there are approximately 550 unique 1962 Post cards (this includes the different backs). I don't recall exactly how many different 1961 Post there are, but there 190+ regular box cards plus the 160 perforated cards as well as some different cropping/image variations with the regular box cards. With the 1963 Post there seem to be fewer cropping/image variations than the 1961s. I have found even fewer (if any?) with the 1963 Jello set. I don't have enough of the 1962 Jello to know how many variations might be in that set. Finally, there are numerous variations (crop and text) with the 1962 Post Canadian set...this in one set I am content with having only one version of each card. Between the Post and Jello baseball sets from 1961 -1963 there are around 1800 unique cards.

I've been casually building the base sets for a year or two, but base sets always turn into master sets. Guess this one will take a lot longer to cross off than I originally thought.

I don't think this has been shared yet.

The cream backs come with the A in "American" broken or printed properly. I have not seen a white back with the A correct, but I did not look very hard.

Had not noticed that one

Thanks Greg,

Just added one.

1979 Topps Rusty Staub variation or print error

Does anyone else have a 1979 Topps #440 Rusty Staub with a variation on the front of the card on Staub's helmet that look like a large peanut? Is it a recognized variation?

Thanks!

You have a picture or a post # for it? I would guess it is a print error like almost every card in this thread. They are fun to collect but very few are actually recognized variations.
