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

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?

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

I was not sure if this had been flagged or not...I did not see it mentioned on Richard D's list (he usually keeps his list updated fairly well and I use his list as my index). This thread is getting too long to find previously mentioned cards like this so I rely more on Richard's list. Hopefully Irv will recall.

Do you have this variation Al?

Sliphorn posted it first. Irv followed up ....and then you in post 606 . This is officially a double dip I am afraid to look at how many times I have done that in here

See 678 for red at top of Masi

Thank you for finding that Al. I actually already posted my (original) copy in that series of posts....I upgraded my 280 recently and rediscovered the red line on my original copy. I am hoping Richard keeps updating his "database" of variations so we are all not "rediscovering" this stuff.
