Topps 58 football has a "player photo inside an oval surrounded by a color background". Brown's card has a black background and all the ones I've been looking at have some degree of white splotchiness to them. Is it fairly common? Would you consider this a print defect? (I know it would help if I posted an image, but I don't want to just swipe images from eBay - I've honestly yet to see one where the black looks like a clean true black)
I've never thought much about the 58 set before - it reminds me of the 70 set, but maybe because the color scheme was uniform on the 70s, in my own opinion, I rather like the 70 set. Both give up a lot of the real estate on the card with just a plain solid color background though. Thanks for any thoughts. And if anyone is willing to post their 58 Jimmy Brown and mention what they like/don't like about their card - I'd love to see them. |

Thanks for the replies. Wanted to make sure I wasn't getting too picky/critical - I have that tendency. I'll definitely adjust my expectations on this one. Thanks Again.

While it is true that the 1958 Topps Jim Brown Rookie card can be plauged by "print snow", By no means does it mean that there are not cleaner nicer copies of the card out there. I would not conceed to the fact that you have to settle for one full of "Print Snow". Just be prepared to open the wallet for the nicer ones out there. John |

There is no shortage of eBay listings, but the price/condition combinations... not great.
