The red line that appears on Jerry's left shoulder is also recurring...limited, but not as limited as the cards with the print/partial print. A two-for-one print variation card.

Awesome find Larry, I will have to get one for my fingerprint card collection. I am up to 6 or 7 different ones now.

Surely there is a market opportunity here for some guy to start making finger print variants at home.

Thank you Ben....what are the different ones you have....I seem to remember a 63 McCovey???



Found this one a while back, but never found a match....it looks like Joe forgot to shave the lower left half his face in this print variant:

I was thinking last night there should be a tv show where a guy looking through his cards notices a finger print on one, like the McNertney or Da Vanon , and he knows a guy in law enforcement and for grins asks him to run the print and it turns out to be a match for a known serial killer who has been active for years. And then.......

It is a 61 Topps McCovey. I have the 3 different McNertey cards plus 2 more someplace. One is a Goudey I picked up from an auction in the BST section and the other one is in the junk era, no idea who though. I also bought it from a fellow member.

Correct pose, wrong year on the McCovey....I have only two finger print variations of the McNertney plus the "clean" version, do you have a third finger print version?

Yes I have very light, medium, and really nice versions of the fingerprint on the McNertney. Here is a pic I found on my computer of all 3. I have been drastically reducing my collection so I can't find anything.

I thought ya'll might enjoy these. Are these common? Any tougher then the rest? Thanks, Pat

very nice! Most are massive overinking, not all that common.
The 58 is the most severe batch of fisheyes I've seen.
The 74 Spencer is about as far off as a factory cut gets for tilt. I have a 75 that's way worse, but the person I got it from later said they made it from a scrap of uncut sheet.

Thank you Ben, I will keep an eye out for the third version as that is the one I do not have.
