Show...me...your print variations!

With weird print variations on or near players necks, I noticed this one....a small scribbled looking area on Fred's neck just above the blue border. For those who like to color coordinate, there is a second version of this mark that appears more red(3rd image). With this marking appearing intentional, I am not sure what Topps was trying to accomplish as there appears to be nothing to cover up on the non-marked version.

The variation missing part of his name and left border are roughly 1:20

I kept looking at the name at the top and wondering what was missing

Also, the 1973 did not help things :-)

Here is a partial "blackless" card ala 82s.....just like a regular card, sans the black border around the "1969 Rookie Stars"....any ideas on this card?

Yep. Very tough variation. Listed in SCD, or at least it was. I have one and have seen several posts over time by folks looking for it

edited---it is also on the PSA master checklist

Thank you Al for the info. Richard's variation list mentions a version of this card with a "line around title"....likely the same variation then.

I'm new to posting on this site so I hope Al will fix the glitches. Assuming the jpegs got attached, here is the run down.

1963 #81 Schaeffer with the yellow vertical line is not the only one to exist.

1963 # 256 Lumpe has margin gaps.

1960 #112 Harshman has copyright issues.

1959 #59 Noren has a white spot on the "r' on "Irv" and this is common on many.

1956 #213 Tigers has a margin shift to the right on the lower version (notice the logo).

1953 #283 Hogue has an overprint issue.

Enjoy.
