Recent variation sell prices
 

WOW! Recently GMC auctioned off a raw, mid-grade copy of the 67 Spiezio "variation" and there were three separate bidders who bid $1k+ for this card. Can't say the last time I remember this card in mid-grade shape fetching this amount. This card stole the show from the 68 WL McCormick which, while in slightly lower grade, sold for an uncharacteristically low $220 during the same evening.

Compared to the 1967 Topps Monteagudo and Nen missing black ink cards the 1967 Topps Spiezio missing black ink is plentiful, but the Spiezio is recognized by PSA and has been accepted as a variation even though it is just a recurring print flaw. I’m sure the PSA registry plays a part too.

A recurring print flaw is a variation. I am currently working on a 1962 project where there is a print flaw variation that has characteristics exclusive to only that particular print run. The card can be identified by the print defects on either side. They even have, for lack of a better desciption, a green tint error that doesn't fall in the accepted green tint number set.

This is a point of view that has been discussed thoroughly in the past.....please share some images of the variations you mention.

I agree that the Monteagudo and Nen are indeed more scarce....the registry is certainly an influencer of raw prices.

I certainly will once I have enough copies in hand.
