Airbrushing
What exactly is airbrushing anyway ?
Cliff that would make some sense except he has the Boston cap ? |

This might be stretching it, but I am going with the theory that someone at Topps turned the fancy P on his Pawtucket cap into a fancy B for a Red Sox emblem with airbrushing. Maybe I better quit while I am behind .

I was kind of serious about the airbrushing question. It seems that term covers a lot of stuff Topps may have done to cards
I think your theory is as good as any. If so they did a better job on his B than on the Popovich card previously :-) Last edited by ALR-bishop; 05-30-2017 at 06:33 AM. |

Looks like I was off on the 1974 Pawtucket fancy P theory, they used a plain P hat back then. I did find another photo though, it looks like that white area may actually be his uniform. ETA, I will go back to my original theory that Topps airbrushed the Pawtucket cap and uniform (pretty good on the cap, crudely on the uniform) to make it look like a Red Sox uniform. It looks like an airbrush artist touched up the uniform for the 1982 Kmart card and greatly improved the appearance.

Maybe the Kmart card is why I felt he was leaning against something shoulder high....really bad that I completely forgot about one of the most overproduced cards of all time(at least from the early 80s). I wonder why the 82 Kmart card's image was not used on the 90TBC card?

1952 Topps 280 Boyer
Not sure if this has been noted before or not, but I noticed this recurring red line on the bottom edge of this 52 280 Boyer card. Are there other 52s with similar red lines on other 52s (including the card below the 280 card on an original sheet)?

I think Irv may have flagged this one above. It is getting hard to keep track. We need an index. There may be at least one more on here somewhere, will check

Are these variations or print defects? | savedfrommyspokes | Postwar Baseball Cards Forum (Pre-1980) | 16 | 02-09-2013 11:52 AM |
Well known print defects. Do variations exist without? | novakjr | Postwar Baseball Cards Forum (Pre-1980) | 9 | 01-28-2011 04:32 PM |
