1962 Color variations

[ALR-bishop]

When hobby catalogs recognize a variation they usually use the actual card number and add an a, b or sometimes c if there is more than one recognized variation. Type 1 or 2 is not a typical reference.

I think for most cards in most sets if you look long enough you will find some printing variant of it. What gives them value is hobby recognition. Intentional changes in a card by the manufacturer are easy to get recognized. Recurring print flaws less so. But the 52 Campos, the 57 Bakep , the 58 Herrer, and most recently the 61 Fairly are all examples of print defects elevated to hobby recognition as variations with a premium. Not sure the variance here is great enough to get recognition, but good luck with it.

I collect them whether are likely to have a future premium or not because I find them, and pursuit of them interesting. But do an eBay search for "Topps variation" and see the many nuances that come up

A more dramatic pink misprint on the Yaz might make a difference
