Yep the ripken i showed looks much whiter in person, if it wasnt for this thread I would have never found any difference between them. One is a BGS 9 and the other a PSA 8

I got 2 of these cards in the mail today thanks to a fellow member. IMHO they are just a fairly common print anomaly found in many Topps cards. To me these are the same as the 90 Topps All-Star cards that can be found with any where from a light gray to a dark black background.

The very light magenta print pattern can easily be seen in the close up of the "white" card.

The majority of the "variants" posted in the variations thread in the other post war forum are likely unintended recurring print defects or deviations. I don't look at them as true variations which I view as intended changes in a card or in the printing process affecting a card. But it is often difficult to determine if a difference was intended or just a recurring defect. I do not know if these differences were intended or an accident but they are obvious differences, similar to many of the variants posted in the other thread and ones similar to it.

Collect them if you like them

Since my sets are done it usually is
