Picked this up at a show yesterday:

I realize it's off-centered,but do you think the print mishap would take down the grade as well if I sent it in? It's a pretty sharp card otherwise.

What causes this double printing of the black?

I believe the whole sheet was double struck in error during the final black ink printing process by the printer.

Yep.

Interesting it's off so much. Usually these happen when a sheet feeds wrong and the image is still on the blanket for a second pass while it also gets a new image.
This also can happen during press adjustment.
Like this one where they were moving the black into registration, and it's got I think 5 impressions.

Wrong place, moved to the Post - 80's

Sorry gents, way too much on my mind right now. Post moved over to the other 80's and later thread.

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.

To follow-up on this post from LY.... I had forgotten that I had placed this 80 T Kobel card in a west facing window in order to see how it would compare to the 3 cards in Cliff's post. Well, below is the Kobel (with the bottom intentionally sunbathed), IMO it looks like the Kobel's red lettering is further bleached than the 3 cards Cliff found being offered on ebay. When compared to the Kobel, it appears to be a near certainty that the Rice, Tom P. and Nettles card were sunbathed to remove the red colored player name and it does not appear to be a factory misprint on these 3 cards.

Also evident on the bottom of the Kobel is which primary color fades first, second and third on a 1980 Topps card.

Nice work! I was already skeptical of his missing name cards but when he showed the Tom Poquette I knew they were bogus because on the real 80 Tom Poquette yellow name the banner is also affected with the missing red ink but on his the banner is the same as a normal 80 Poquette card.

I apologize if this one’s doesn’t qualify or has been posted already ( I do not have the brain power to view all 50 pages )

I found a 1966 Topps dick Stuart 480 with “I guess a scrape in Mets name banner”
