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 |

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 Last edited by ALR-bishop; 01-18-2016 at 09:01 AM. |

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.
