Just got this for 200😨
 

Anyone else have one? Took me 2 years to find one that cheap

I wish I did, you got a bargain. I believe the 67 Marichal was in the top row of one of the two Slits, that was the cause of the damage to the name on the back.

Ok, where is this variation, then?
 

I have been searching for what seems like an eternity for the 1970 Topps Alyea
blob (for want of a better word) backed card.

I have the ball and the no ball versions. The only place I have ever seen the middle variation is on the BB Card Variation Guide Book site.

So, is this a one off? Or do I keep looking? I appreciate your inputs regarding this card.

Thanks,

Butch

and some are white, right?
So are the black lines only on the outside borders....and they are sloppy, like the original layouts were pencil or pen. I feel that where there are those bigger marks is where the pen/pencil came up and the next went down. Like when you are marking a 8 ft board with a 2 ft ruler?

I personally don't pay much attention to the endless variety of different printing anomalies that can be found on most cards, but if you enjoy those kinda things, here's something new I noticed on one of my graded 1973 Topps #174 Rich Gossage Rookies. I searched around a while and located another example relatively quickly on eBay (below), so it is recurring and assumedly pretty rare as far as these things go.

A spectral blue orb hovers right below the Goose's pitching hand...

The lines are between certain sections on the 70's, and some other sets.

The entire process was essentially hand done. If the lines are at the top and bottom of the slits - groups of cards produced together, usually 3-4 rows of 11 if I remember them right. Then the dark line would be a gap between the large negative for the different slits.
The negatives get placed on an opaque backing paper and the whole thing is called the mask.
White lines would be where the mask blocked the overlappping area.

A 1960 stumper at least to me
 

Can anyone educate me on what the black is at the top of the card?

Not to mention there are print dots down his right arm in the small photo and and one on his left arm as well.

It's some print on the top border of the sheethttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...39f5f6c426.jpg

Butch,

I looked at like 30 1970 Alyeas that I have and all were either the full ball or no ball.

...also sharing some 1967 print vars- while at the same time alerting the yellow print fades police....siren blaring.

Can I retire after finding that Monteagudo?

Best,
