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

That is definitely a 1959 Venezuelan cream back... and in great condition relative to how most of those Venies look. I have one of those and it does not have the printing error that yours has. Nice card!

Thank you for the reply....I received several other replies in agreement with you that this card does appear to be a Venezuelan card. It is most definitely in much better shape than the handful of other Venezuelan cards I have in my collection.

Is your copy of this card a cream back or a grey back? Several other copies of this card I have seen are grey back and do not have the print variation, so I am curious if it may be unique to the cream back.

I have not seen this recurring print variation mentioned before: there is a green "dagger" (print mark) just the right of the Braves banner and Torre's number 15. Much more obvious when the card is in hand.

Have not seen the recurring green print mark that appears on Ryne's neck mentioned before......every collector's friend, Dean, has at least 3 copies available with this green mark.

In going through some more 62s, I found this #106 card which has what appears to be a set of red lips on Carl's hat and a blue print mark above one of the apartment buildings on Waveland. Not sure how many cards have these recurring print marks as many of the scans on ebay were fairly dark.

Looks like you can find him with or without the blue thing on the building. Also looks like you can find him with the lips on the cap with or without the blue mark on the building.

How can you tell that it is Venezuelan? I always thought there would be Spanish on the back. Thanks.

I am not sure which card you are referring to.....however, with the 59 Harry Anderson card the first thing that made me think it might be a Venezuelan card was the fact that the front of the card has no gloss what so ever.

These Venezuelan cards for the most part are a parallel to the US issue (with only English on the back), except for the fact that (according to the SCD VBC) only "some" cards have the credit line "Impreso en Venezuela....", while others do not. There are two colored backs associated with this Venezuelan set also...cream and grey.

Sammy:

The Anderson WAS the card I was questioning. For some reason this thread posts replies at the very end, leaving all to wonder what the question was about. I appreciate the answer. Thanks.

Haven't been this sick from missing out on an eBay buy-it-now in quite a while, it sold for $8 + $3 shipping. It's bad enough that it had three yellow name variations, look at the card on the bottom row...

The 80 set sure has a bunch of print defects. For Pryor ( I have a Doug Bair like it) I have one of the no names, plus the position in both white and yellow. For the yellow names, which despite early notoriety are just print defects, I have Braun, Stanley,Washington, Wathan, McEnaney, and Poquette. I haved a Trammel with a yellow halo around his name. Only Wathan, Stanley, Braun and Poquete, along with Pryor, made it into SCD. Anyone else have other yellow names ? I have lots of banner and other print defects in my set
