My name is Ben and I'm a junk wax junkie
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some interesting junk wax finds. I've been trading online since 1999. My id is always benlee66, including on ebay. Apologies for the cluttered post. -I'm very curious if anyone has ever seen a '70 Munson RC like the one with white letters. The card doesn't appear to be damaged by exposure to light. -Confirmation that the Ramon Martinez Topps is a true white box? -Pulled the 1990 Donruss print errors from one of a half dozen rack cases. -Delino Deshields a Jeff King lite? -Seems that I've seen another copy of the discolored Dempsey on COMC at one point. -1990 Fleer print flaws from cello. *Kirby Pucket 1987 Topps planchet error? Anyone seen anything like it? !!! 1976 Topps Mike Schmidt NNOB. I'll post two other 1976 cards with lesser degrees of green bleed. All were found together. Steep price paid . I was actually given a small 60/70s collection form a friend's dad. Never noticed it until a year later. Last edited by benlee66; 10-22-2015 at 07:54 PM. Reason: OCD |

The Munson does look like sunlight damage to me; how did you rule it out?

Ben--- welcome aboard---tend to agree with John on the Munson. The Schmidt is a great item. Here is the King you mentioned
Here is an example of what is likely light fading Last edited by ALR-bishop; 10-27-2015 at 01:39 PM. |

Thanks guys. Glad to have found this board and look forward to sharing finds.
With the Munson, there is no fading on the other colors. Just the yellow is missing. Notice how the back of the card is extra yellow. Perhaps that sheet wasn't flipped over and the back was pressed twice on the yellow plate? I'll post pics of the other '76 green bleed backs I got along with the Schmidt. How is the name missing but the stats show? It got some black ink. |

I really think that the Munson is not faded. The letters are clearly magenta (not red). Red is created during the printing process by adding yellow ink to the magenta ink. I think if it were a matter of fading due to light exposure the other inks should have faded as well to some degree. Yet you don't see that. You can also see that the photos in the card with white letters do not contain the yellow ink giving them a 'faded' look.
I'm wondering if it is a color correction proof card or just a rare error that got through quality control. Does anyone know if they made color correction proofs with the backs printed? Very cool card nonetheless. |

Steve, thanks for the great info on the printing process. I can't say I've digested all of it yet, but it's a big help in understanding the little differences in the cards and how to categorize them.
Here are a few more pics for your error enjoyment: 1. Puckett 87T border break (progressive) 2. Clemens 87T AS eagle ink variations 3. 88T Pirates TL w/spot above Bonilla's head 4. 90T Deshields yellow spill over name (progressive) 5. Topps Tribute misprints 6. Fisk blue line under White Sox logo on first card 7. Bonilla DK with printing error (looks like paper loss, but card is not damaged) 8. Tim Teufel missing letters 9. Omar Moreno's disappearing jersey (progressive) Also check out the pics I just put up on the 1991 Topps error thread of wrong background (player with manager's background and vice-versa). All hype aside, these could be incredibly rare. Tons more later. |

Eagles and Omar
Several of the All Star cards have defective eagles. Someone posted Omar elsewhere and it can be found with a lot of differences in the black ink around the dugout, his bat and his hair. I think I learned about the Bonilla spot defect from Richard Dingman's lists.

I think I might have to get scanning some of the errors I have.
