Darren,

Thanks for pointing out this variation, just another reason that I enjoy this site. I read one of your old posts about the Kaline and I have been on the hunt ever since.

Jim

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

So, just to be clear, is the band-aid variation out there in general circulation? I'm guessing its fairly rare.....is it?

Yes, the Band-Aid version is out in general circulation. I have only been searching for it for the last 6 months....checking new BIN listings on ebay several times a day. In the last 6 months, I may have missed a few, but I have seen only three (most recently, one auction of a lot ended on the 14th for $3) copies with Band-Aid out of the 100+ that have sold and the nearly 100 currently listed. So maybe 1-2% of the copies of this card have the Band-Aid? I also wonder when PSA will begin to recognize this variation?

That's cool Darren. Glad his head did not explode in the last frame

This would seem to be one that SCD, Beckett and PSA should recognize as a variation, even under an intentional change definition.

My thanks to Cliff Bowman for helping me get one

I was editor of the Standard Catalog for many years between 1981-2006 and this is the first I can recall hearing of the band-aid variation on 1973 Topps Kaline.

I certainly would have added the variation to the listings if I had encountered it; it is clear that this was an intentional change.

It must be quite scarce to have gone "officially" undetected for so long.

Well, get on the phone with someone, Bob!!

And bring up how there are 3 distinctly different versions (not just 2) of a few of the manager/coaches cards, too.
