1970
 

Claude--It looks to be the common version, it may be harder to find one without it

some of my vintage oddities.

1. Mathews with white streak over shoulder
2. Killebrew w/flame to the left of his cap
3. Maris w/print shift: red in team banner
4. Trammell missing a lot of color
5. Munson RC that got no yellow print on obverse

Munson
 

Ben---do you think the Munson resulted from light exposure ?

1. reverse of Munson RCs (my guess is the back went through the yellow inking twice, hence none on the front)
2. Schmidt obverse
3. Schmidt no name on back, greened out
4. Richard obverse
5. similar to the Schmidt, and was found in the same small collection

Schmidt
 

Neat Schmidt card

1. Seaver with pink dot on color
2. another '76 green bleed back
3. Brett with a bruise on forehead (lefthand card). Maybe something like the '73 Kaline band-aid (wishful thinking)?
4. Menke reverse, card on right has small circle below the 1963 at the end of the text box and just above the top of the stat border.
5. Earl Campbell RC with ink blotch (i'm fairly confident it's a printing flaw and not after market damage)

A better scan of the back of the Munson with no yellow on front. Lots of yellow on back.

I don't think it's sun-faded. Everything is crisp. Wish I could post a higher resolution scan.

It's the neatest error/variation I've come across. How lucky that it was on Schmidt and not a common!?!

No experience with 70 Topps but from the picture I would say yes it is faded. The card looks dull and the magenta does not pop with color. Real missing color cards are super rare. I have a couple pictured in the 80-Present January pick up thread. Those are not 100% missing color but the yellow ink was running very low. Notice how all the colors still pop even with the bad phone picture. In one of the Hank Aaron threads I pictured a amazing missing yellow Clemente that really shows the difference between real and faded.
