When I checked to see which McBride I had, I had both, so must have heard about it from someone previously. All you guys look alike to me :)

Of the copies I looked at with the Staley, they appear to either have or not have the red spot. So, I will go with the non-transitional variety variation on the Staley card.

1964 Topps 287 Rookie Stars

Here is a nice example of a progressive (Blue)print mark on Tony Cs RC

1960 #501 Schmidt

This one has gray smudging near his hands in the inset. On eBay I believe this is the common while the one without is the variation of sorts. The blue ink in the middle version is easier to see on the actual card.

Just checked my Schmidt. It has no gray in border but does have the dot pattern in the blue mark...4 versions ?

Checked mine, no gray in border but does have heavy blue dots.

Not a variation, likely, but it is similar to other sections of missing border cards that I have seen being discussed.

Noticed on my 52 Topps Dale Coogan card that a small section of border (just left of center, top, facing you) is missing or something was laying on it when printed. I looked at other Coogan cards and noticed about <5% had it.

Mine, and the E-Bay one I found looking.

Good catch Irv. I have picked up similar border hick ups for Snider ( 37), Woodling ( 99), Scheib ( 116), Bowles ( 128) and Dobson ( 254). Some of those, Snider,, Woodling and Scheib for sure, were listed as variants by Huggins in their 1952 Super Set auction ( 579 cards) a couple of years back.

They are all recurring print defects rather than true variations, but fun to add to the set anyway

The wing tip along upper left black border seems common on all, but here is another recurring defect on that card

By the way, for collectors who do variants and autos there is an autographed 52 Campos black star in the upcoming LOG auction. It is from a large collection that was found here in San Antonio a short while back

I agree, just anomalies as I like to call them.

Thanks for the info, Al.

The 110 signed 52's would be a nice addition as well!! :)

It will be interesting to see what both lots go for?
