Yes, and we should assign Richard the job of indexing this thread too

I agree! Lots of posts with many anomalies/variations so it's no wonder we get duplicates. Not sure if my pic still exists in that older post, but here it is again.
(mine is hard to see at the very bottom of the card but it is there)

I think this gives Cloyd the lead in appearances

LOL. So he was still there.

Richard is usually pretty quick in updating his list from the posts appearing in this thread....the #280 red line variation may have been overlooked as the 283 Masi is listed. This thread, on the other hand, may be a little tougher to index.....

I appreciate the resource!

I used to have the '70 set and don't remember seeing these. How common are they? Referring to the darker charcoal borders. Any price premium? Thanks for any information, I have 3 of them.

Cool color variation on the team name. I looked at several and it appears to be very common with that card.

I have a few of the darker(charcoal) colored borders. I have never seen them sell for a premium but I have never seen anyone try to either. I am sure if you pointed it out in the listing/title someone would pay a premium for them. I have seen myself and others pay a premium for much less.

I have a handful of the charcoal colored borders also, while not necessarily common, I have never seen any of them sell for a premium (yet)....

After a quick look at my 1970 set binder, I only have a #3, Chaney, and a couple of Leaders cards with the 'charcoal' look to them.

I put my 1970 Charcoal borders in the BST section. I also added a bunch of eBay like comedy to the listing for your reading pleasure.

Being since I have noticed this on a few cards, I assume the black dot/ink mark above Mick's hat on the upper border is common knowledge?
Some have it, some don't.

Any reasons/info why and does it hurt value any?

Great Dale, not enough that variant guys have to deal with 2 of the 52s and 3 of the 67s, now you give us 2 of the 56s...thanks

Has this never been discussed before, or has it been discussed to death already?
I have always loved this card and would like to purchase one sometime soon (if that's a current great idea?) so that is what I noticed while educating myself.
I did do a search about the black dot but came up with nothing. I know the Mays and Robinson printing dots/spots on the 52's have been talked about, discussed before, but I couldn't find anything about this Mantle one?
