1966 Richie Allen Variation
 

Allen is in column 1 of the slits from series 1. He is in row 6 and 11 in one slit and row 4 on the other. That blue mark is most likely a cut line identifier for the row 6 card.

Here is an odd one. I asked the seller before I bought it if the blue dot in the upper left hand corner was indeed on the card . He assured it was.

You may have to enlarge the photo to see it.

Forgive me if this has been pointed out before; I did not comb through all 60+ pages in this thread:

I call this the "horizontal line between a foul pole (?) or otherwise two vertical lines" in the '63 Clemente. See 2nd pic. The horizontal line doesn't appear on all of them.

This would not appear to affect the grade, as I've seen otherwise sharp copies "with horizontal line" in high grade slabs. I always kind of considered it a printing error, but I guess not everyone does. What is this, does anyone know? Roller mark? Hair or some other detritus left on a printing plate?

I know this is not baseball, but is an interesting variation I came across with the yellow area on the bottom right. There are many of these on eBay so anyone who is interested can have their pick.

69 Topps Gaylord Perry 485 - My WL Variations
 

Not sure how this will be received but I never let that be a barrier for posting.
The following is a consolidation of the 69 Gaylord Perry variations that I have assembled. I figure having them in a single spot later in this thread was better than having to hunt them down throughout the thread. Kinda sorta like I did with the 75 Brent Strom’s (Stromsters).

I believe that my version of the Gaylord Perry with the blue stripe/mark/line etc. on his forehead is a one off unless someone has found another. The two blue lines is also potentially a one off too. Regardless, they are all listed here, front and back regardless of where the variation lies on the card front/back.

I'm always looking for that next one, so if there is one in your collection that you are comfortable with posting, please, by all means do so.

I'll start with the White Letter Cards I have. I have saved the images using the nomenclature that was used by Larry in prior posts.

Cheers,

Butch

1966 topps high number ( and a tuff one ) twins TC 526 can be found with and w/o the smudge….here’s 3 different ones

Likely this variation (dot above the "i" in Briggs' facsimile auto) has already been posted or mentioned in this thread, but I had a question regarding it.

Is it believed that this is an error that Topps actually caught and corrected or was it simply a print error on a small percent of these cards?

Briggs' Topps auto on other cards has the dot above the "i" in Briggs as do a vast majority of the 1967 cards.

It's the first I've heard of this variation. It looks to me like Topps made an effort to airbrush out the dot above the i, why I don't know. Topps would "fix" silly things like this and the 1966 Don Landrum pants button but never correct egregious errors like the 1965 Don Pavletich wrong position and the 1966 Dick Ellsworth with Ken Hubbs pictured.

Great catch Cliff on the Topps' touch-up. This touch up reminds me of the nearly complete touch up work done on the 1978 Wills black circle card.

Based on the quantity of each of the variations of this card available, approx 20 to 1 with the dotted "i", was the no dot version an early printing (corrected by adding the dot) or a late printing (removing the dot for reasons unknown)?
