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.

That's a really cool line break. Not so much for the break, but for the unbroken line being a repair. You can see where the break was the line is a bit thick and uneven. That's probably from the press operator fixing it by scratching the missing section into the plate. There just might be normal ones with a nice even line if more than one plate was used.

Steve, to me the unevenness of the repair is more obvious in hand than in the scan....out of the 20+ copies I viewed with the "repaired" line, they all appear quite similar, a bit thick and uneven. It would be nice to have a "more cleanly repaired line" variation to chase also.
