Variations within variations, different levels of coverage, light to dark, print dots and print defects are features that both of the errors seem to have in common. The FF and the Marlboro card were also both at the bottom of their respective 132 card sheets. The Randy always seemed out of place, as he’s not with the other Expos. I have a question about the circle scribbles and whiteouts if I can send you a PM? Thanks!

I have a fairly large collection of both cards and IMHO the Johnson card is way weirder.

Can't wait to get my Beckett to read the article. Unfortunately USPS seems to like it also. It hit the first sorting facility several days ago and then magically disappeared.
