Nice find, I am thinking you meant blue rather than green:)

The top of the error card obviously has a blue tint, but what I was going by is the long rectangle where his name should be, on the regular card it is green with yellow letters, on the error card it is just yellow.

The blue and yellow combine to make green.

As I was pondering the case of the wanton posting of Cardinals variations in violation of the new law....and I was considering what kind of punishment should be passed down....

...I was in the process of searching my extras in my collection (in which I found none), and also in the process of scouring the internetwebs to fill the voids in which certain posters shed light on...

...I too have discovered a variation. Yes....it is a Cardinals variation. I have found ANOTHER variation on the 1959 Topps Alex Grammas. There is a reoccurring white donut print defect in the bottom left blue area very close to the photo and directly above the "NA" in CARDINALS. I have purchased this one and it is on it's way to my humble collection.

Also, while doing this I discovered that my "plain ole' regular Grammas was actually the "light transitional blob" version. Therefore I had to purchase a "regular plain" one. It is also on the way.

Having said all of that....since I am now guilty of the same crime of bringing to light further Cardinals variations....I hereby deem the new law null and void. It is now repealed! Isn't that how it's done in real life?

Carry on!

I am absolutely outraged that the Judge has committed the same crime. I am so mad that it is distracting my attention from my other tab where I’m shopping for said new recurring defect.

Perhaps we should instill a new blanket rule. Anyone who has the temerity to discuss a new card has to buy everyone else in the thread a copy of it too.

He has a BUNCH of 1980 Topps cards with no names that I am very skeptical of. I can't think of any logical reason why all of those cards would be printed without names when the same ink is not missing from the rest of the card. I might be opening myself up to a libel case :eek: but I suspect that someone either removed the names with an eraser or used chemicals to remove the names. Here are scans of a few of them.

You nailed it. You can see the names are actually still there in these pictures, just very very faint.

The seller can get in line and sue me. :)

LOL!

As I spent about 2 hours last night, and most of this morning searching for these variations, I am reminded - I have a disease.

However, it helps to know that we all have this thread as a support group because....we're all nuts!
