I didn't see this mentioned, but 1948 Bowman Enos Slaughter RC:



#1 in 17 either has a tail or doesn't. Recurring print variation.

Good one, John

Since we're at 48 Bowmans, I was reminded of this pic I put together from Ebay scans.
The Feller has three different sets of white boxes at the top, or none.

[Sliphorn]

I have the 1948 bowman Feller with the slits and the notes but would like to see what others consider to be the third "box" variation. Thanks.

This one is on ebay now.Looks a little different . What do you mean by slits and notes, Thomas ?

[Sliphorn]

Here is the scan of my three versions and the upper one looks like this. I have the slits and the none versions but indications are that there is a fourth version with windows.

Nice find John....

I first noticed this one today, may have missed it in the past. The limited, but recurring yellow print spot found on the "N" in Twins

1973 Topps Scipio Spinks has a bunch of broken border variations.

Full borders:


Broken Right Side:


Broken Top (common):


Broken top, left, and right:

With the back of the 1960 Topps 138 Art Mahaffey card, there appears to be two different versions. On the first version, the colored area covering the vitals and statistics panel stops short of the ball containing the card's number, while on the other variety, the colored area extends all of the way to the back's left edge, as with nearly every other 1960 Topps card.

Interesting Larry---various degrees of the different margins as well

The Spinks border irregularity at top is fairly common, those on left side less so. Here is one with it on top and lower on side

Al, what is also interesting is I don't recall seeing another 1960 card with it's back like this.....I would think that the this card was probably on an uncut sheet's right edge. I can't seem to find a 1960 uncut sheet from this series to see where it is located on the sheet and what card is above/below this one. Possibly the card above/below may be similar. Either way, it appears that about 1 in 5 copies of this card have the shortened coloring.

I have seen dozens and dozens of the Spinks card with the top border break, but have yet to see one with either the side or both the top/side. Nice find. The search will continue for one besides the top border break.

Somewhere in this thread is another 1960 card with similar back issue. Will look for it later
