So the one I have is the regular version with the white name/red triangle being card 535 in the set?

Mike -- what is your definition of a true variation ? Would it include the 58 Herrer, the 57 Bakep, the 52 Campos Black Star, the 67 Moeller white streak, the 61 Fairly green in the ball on the back ?

Do you know one when you see one or rely on someone else to tell you what are true variations . No offense intended , who would have thought the 61 Fairly would be a recognized variation. Would the Herrer and Bakep make the cut post Internet ? Should there be a hobby accepted definition of a variation ? Collect what you like . I do. Hobby recognition does drive value, but is the 61 Fairly a print dot in your view ?

No I don't know much about variations.
I am simply trying to complete my 3 sets.
The 1959 and 1960 are definite on what is the complete set.
I have found, however, that 1958 is not so defined.
I have decided to go for the full "master set", and just need to know what that is.
I appreciate all of the input. I am now more clear on what to focus on.

Could someone please post scans of the 1958 Topps contest cards? I don’t believe I have ever seen them, thanks.

I remember when the 1962 Topps "Green" variations were considered trash and most were thrown out by Topps. I received a caseload in the '70's I think it was from a dealer Woody Gelman ??? out of New York area. I think he got a lot of the print and scrap from Topps.

I agree everyone should collect what they enjoy !!! It's a great hobby with a lot of unique collecting options ( specific player, Team, variations, specific year, specific company , food issues etc, etc.)

Agreed Mike

I think the green tints, which as Darren has previously pointed out PSA and sellers often fail to properly distinguish, were the result of an intentional second printing by a separate printing company. I think they were retailed and while not as plentiful as the first run cards, are not really scarce.
