Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!!

It appears to be card #369, Alan Foster. But there's more!! In quickly researching it, I noticed a black mark on Alan's cap, so I investigated further and sure enough, it's another frickin' variation!! His card comes both with and without that big, black mark on his hat.

Here are a couple examples. Check it out…
Attachment 198899

With this print variation, there are two small extra clouds appearing a ways off in the sky....fortunately for the Pirates, these extra clouds are far away and do not look like rain clouds.

1964 Topps #397 Cottier
 

I don't believe this one was reported before. Neither version seems scarce.

Nice find, first time I have seen it....this print variation does appear on Richard D's list.

With weird print variations on or near players necks, I noticed this one....a small scribbled looking area on Fred's neck just above the blue border. For those who like to color coordinate, there is a second version of this mark that appears more red(3rd image). With this marking appearing intentional, I am not sure what Topps was trying to accomplish as there appears to be nothing to cover up on the non-marked version.

73 topps rooker
 

The variation missing part of his name and left border are roughly 1:20

Rooker
 

I kept looking at the name at the top and wondering what was missing :o :)

Also, the 1973 did not help things :-)

Here is a partial "blackless" card ala 82s.....just like a regular card, sans the black border around the "1969 Rookie Stars"....any ideas on this card?

1968
 

Yep. Very tough variation. Listed in SCD, or at least it was. I have one and have seen several posts over time by folks looking for it

edited---it is also on the PSA master checklist

Thank you Al for the info. Richard's variation list mentions a version of this card with a "line around title"....likely the same variation then.
