1961 Topps 137 Chuck Dressen - big yellow splotch in red banner. Topps sure seemed to struggle with random yellow ink getting into places it shouldn't for a good 30 years or so. This one is very, very tough to find.

The lines through his face from the frame are pencil marks, not part of the printing

And speaking of 1961 Topps and yellow problems, here's another toughie. 159 Orioles Team card, with yellow streak in name box

The other arrow is pointing to a white splotch above one of the players heads. It is difficult to see, even in person, and its hard for me to tell how recurring or rare this is as my eyes have a tough time here on scans.

1961 Topps card 178, Bob Nieman. With or without a blue splotch in the sky next to his ear. This version with the blue splotch is less common, I think maybe 5% or so.

1961 Topps 183 Andre Rodgers

I've always wondered what Mr. Rodgers is looking at... Anyways, blue splotch on forehead and a streaky blue mark in his jersey, directly above team box. This card is very tough, I've only seen one other, although I stopped looking for too long after finding this one.

The splotch on his neck is a pack or gum stain, not a mark

And here's yet another 1961 with some yellow difficulty. Note the break in the frame in the lower right by the team name box, that is filled in with yellow. 10% or so of Valo's seem to have this issue

Hope I haven't spammed this thread too much! 205 Bill Pierce, with green splotch above team name box. I think this is also somewhere in the 5-10% range

[G1911]

The 1967 McCormick card, the common one with the traded line, has a recurring defect with the cartoon. Note the white ink for the cartoon box is not aligned right. This is something like 25-40% of the cards, the rest are correctly aligned.

Updating this, I found a blue jersey mark, no forehead mark version in a dupe box

1961 Topps Russ Kemmerer - noticed a brightly colored splotch near his head. I have 11 copies of this card, only this one has the mark for whatever that's worth

1961 Topps #71 Jerry Adair - I have 4 copies of this card, all with a moving red dot (a single pixel) at bottom above the name box, that appears to shift slightly from card to card. One of them has a yellow slash as well
