There are some minor back variants in some of the Leader cards in the 91 Topps set involving either a complete or broken circle around the MLB copyright. Neither are apparently hard to find, but if you have old eyes, they are hard to see. I could not make them out with the scans on eBay or COMC. A fellow board member was able to send me what I needed ( the Hasselhoff Cheesburger man), and even in hand I needed a light and magnifying glass to see the differences.
It is of course ridiculous to care about such differences in cards, but since I do, I appreciate bigger scans as I get older. But they do distort threads when posted. I can still remember, as a low tech guy, being stumped early on in how to size pics for posting. It still presents problems for me on occasion |

But if there is a need to use a larger scan to see specific details on a card, at least crop down the image to just the card itself. |

I can't remember if the "dotted" line print variation located on the upper left of the 1970 389 Jim Shellenback cad has been discussed before or not. However, I came across my first copy and wondered if the dotted line extended onto the card above. The answer is yes, but only a small part of the line can be seen along the bottom edge of the 70 Topps 388 Bryon Browne card.

The left Browne has two defects and the second may cross over too

I never go after the wrong backs that are rampant in this hobby UNLESS they are the common versions of cards. Thesis the case in the 1955 Bowmans where the Bolling and Johnson wrong backs are the commons. I scanned these recently for Mike Cady and was amazed to find out that the Johnson backs have the card numbers that correspond to the players on both. The Bollings have the same card number even though the back is otherwise incorrect. The Bollings BOTH have #48 even though Frank is #204. Ernie and Don Johnson have the correct numbers. I hope folks can follow me on this. I had never noticed that the error cards had this variety.
