[QUOTE=irv;1560294]I rechecked all of my cards and didn't see anything remotely close to what the Boyer card looks like but I did notice a couple cards with some slight printing marks.
One is above Joe Presko's cap and the other is beside Joe Dobson near the border and near his right cheek. Both marks are also red.



I can see the Dobson red marks and have them on mine as well so are they an UER?

Presto is a mystery as I cannot see any marks near his cap. i see the blue dot and mine has it. Can you please clarify this one?

Thanks.

UPDATE:

The Dobson marks ARE a variation as the norm does not have them. Batters box has several with them on eBay.

I likely wrote that wrong?
Dobson's is the only card with the red dots/marks and the only other mark that I also noticed with my cards was the blue dot/speck near Presto's cap.
His card has no red marks/spots that I noticed?

Sorry, what is an UER?

Uer
 
Uncorrected error. You will see that listed for cards in the guides when for example the photo on the card is not the person named on the card, which has happened a lot. When the manufacturer issues a corrected card the result is a true variation. When it goes uncorrected it is a UER.

All of the Prestos I have looked at seem to have the dot. Does someone have it without ?

Is this another oddity for Presko...bottom border

Thanks, Al.

I looked over my cards again yesterday fairly carefully and the only ones I found with anomalies were the cards I posted. My Boyer is the only card in my collection (over 120) that has such a noticeable mark on it, but with that being said, I wasn't even aware of it until it was posted here.

Your Dobson above is one I have never seen before.

Notice that the letters on the pinker version at left dive below the bottom border and are red. This also results in a pinkish line at the top of the left one.

Red squiggle on left side of 1960 #276 Ken McBride.
6 of the 60 cards currently for sale on COMC have it.

Yep, the red is out of register. All the red is printed a bit low.

That card like many in the set can be found with noticeably different background coloring

Noticed mine is OK.

I have heard of few anomalies with the 52 Topps cards but I never knew there were so many.

I enjoy these types threads about the 52 Topps cards, and my biggest mystery, that was asked some time ago, is the Herman/Williams card the same guy?

Edit: After looking at further pictures, I believe that is Billy Herman on his card and not Dick William. Could be wrong, but some of these pics, imo, clear up the mystery.
