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

This is post 80 but wanted some feedback on it. Was this a card Topps doctored to correct it, or just a print defect that faded

This is recurring with the red dot at the top as I had one and just bought a better one on eBay. I noticed that there are at least four on eBay and one on COMC with this.

Nice find on the recurring print spot....just noticed this 58 Albie Pearson card with a recurring yellow "print spot" between the "l" and "b" in Albie.

We should randomly pick a few cards from some Topps sets, assign one or two to the regulars in here and see if we can find a variant for each card. Of course as a retired guy that seems like a good use of time to me

I agree, Al. Great idea!

Good luck.

Never heard of this one before? Has anyone else?

Yes, it has been recognized for awhile among 52 collectors. Some feel it should be a true variation rather than a recurring print defect. After it gained hobby recognition prices zoomed intitially but have have come down some as more have surfaced. It is scarce but not rare in white back. However, it can apparently also be found among the rare gray backs, and in that format is indeed rare. I think one of the gray backs was posted in one of the 1952 threads in here.

The tiger can be found with different amounts of red in the tongue in some versions. Bob Lemke's mentions it in his blog and in a SCD article

Irv-- if you did an internet search for "Topps 1952 House yellow tiger" you will find some info on it. if you add net 54 to the search you will probably find the prior threads

Bob Lemke's blog entry on it was May 8 of 2011
