Are there unlisted 1962 Topps crop variations?
 
Similar to '63 topps, I heard there were '62 topps crop variations due to the green tint printing issues. I would assume of cards from the same sheet. Does anyone have a scan/image of the '62 sheet of cards that had green tint issues?

The images on the 'green tint' cards themselves are all cropped slightly differently (plus there are the pose variations) than their 'normal' counterparts. Is that what you are asking about, or do you mean other cropping variations among the 'normal' cards? The GTs were all printed as a separate group, and no other 'normal' cards were printed with them.

Here's an example of #122 Norm Bass from the guide I created...

The cropping difference is most notable in the circled area where part of the insignia shows on the GT, but it's also pretty obvious among the shadow shapes at the bottom of the pic, as well as the varying amount of room visible above the dugout in the upper left. There are a couple of cards that are extremely close to being cropped the exact same way in both the 'normal' and GT versions, but they are, in fact, slightly different from each other.

If this isn't what you meant, then just skip this post. :rolleyes:

This answered my question. Thank you, sir!

Darrel and others have posted in other threads all of the green tint cards next to their counterparts with notations on the areas of differences. I am out of town but maybe someone can post a link to one
