Interesting discussion.

A few years ago there was another similar discussion on the white letter McCormick on these boards that I think I started.

As I build master sets I include variations which were the result of a design change, not variations which were printing flaws. So, I do collect the '74 Washingtons but not the 1990 NNOF Thomas.

I was under the impression from that earlier discussion that the McCormick white lettering was a design flaw - i.e. the cards went to press with Giants supposed to print in white, but someone noticed and then changed it to yellow.

If the prevailing wisdom is that it is actually a problem with the yellow color pass on a few sheets, then it would come off my list of needs.

I do it this way because if I started to include printing variations, I'd go down a rabbit hole with no bottom.

So, the white letter McCormick - printing flaw or design change?

Not to stray from the topic, but same question for the 1969 white letters...
