You can see the yellow in the blue fields behind the name. All look intentionally sun-bleached to me.

Compare to:

1969 Topps - [Base] #461.2 - Mike Epstein (White Last Name) [Good*to*VG‑EX]

Entirety of circle is green, since it got the yellow and blue color passes (as we know from the old Ziploc commercials)...

My first thought too was that these three cards were indeed sunbleached, however, the red in the Epstein hat insignia is not faded in any way nor is the orange in Marshall's insignia....normally the red is more prone to fading than the yellow(perhaps with 69s, yellow fades quicker than red). In hand, these 3 cards appear to have missed the yellow pass on the upper portion of the card. As you indicate each "green" circle has varying amounts of blue which would indicate the lack of yellow in the blue portions. A true "white letter" card would have a solid green circle as do the WL copies in my set.

None of these cards appear on the same row of their un-cut sheet which could explain why there are varying levels of missing yellow from the top down part of the card.

I know there have been scans of the 66 Landrum with button, no button, some button, different buttons, but did not realize ( maybe I am the only one) that Claude Raymond's 66 (586) and 67 (364) show him with zipper down or showing. Uncorrected as far as I know. It is highlighted in the latest issue of SCD

Rare 1954 Bowman Carl Erskine loop variation.

Good one. Lemke highlighted it sometime back in an SCD article on "new" variations

They don't come up very often. One on ebay now for $915.

Glad I got mine right after the article. I wonder what actual sales have been

Lemke also pointed out a companion defect on the Preacher Roe card, 218, do you have that one ? Had to look awhile for that one too

Not sure if Cliff does 54 Bowmans but if so could probably trace it all out :-)
