Hmm... I wonder if your dad could identify the culprit.

He probably could have, but that would be against the rules (unless it was for training new hires?...). Sadly, he passed away this summer. And the print will only match something if an exemplar is in the national database. So hopefully it won't match anyone, or they would have been accused of a serious crime.

I have always figured it was Sy Berger's finger print........tough to tell if it matches the print on Ben's 61 McCovey.

Wow, Al that one with the big yellow print error is super cool.

I'd bet it's not Sy Bergwer on the McNelty or McCovey cards. In my correspondence with him, he said that he did not get involved with the production of the cards. Now, Woody Gelman would be a possibility.

But in reality, it is probably an unknown printer, as Gelman was in the art department,not production effort.

Cheers,
Patrick

I bet both those guys would look at this thread and say all of us need to get a life. Baseball cards to them was just a token to sell gum

A long time collector (have not seen him post here though) recently pointed this print variation out to me. On the back of the 67 Topps #15 Battey card the bottom most line below the stats is either unbroken or has a small break on it. In quickly looking through DC and COMC at the backs it appears that about for every copy with the line unbroken, there are three copies with the small break.
