1965 Topps Hank Bauer Blue-In-Ball "Variation"?

[mikemb]

The Bauer is definately a blue bleed.

Looking at my Cepeda, there is blue in the number circle but it looks like it is from a slight misallignment.

Notice there is white above the circle as well as above the "O" and "C" in his name.

To me, a blue bleed means more than the normal amount.

Rich---really appreciate all the work you do to get variants listed separately on COMC

Mike---agree with your alignment comment. The example on COMC is like yours with very slight abnormalities in the ball and the name

TY Al for the kind words, doing this type of research is one of the real fun aspects of my COMC work

I'll agree with all but we do separate similar cards so I'm OK with the Cepeda Breakout. I will also note that I'm not going to do card by card comparisons of all 14 cards noted but,,,, if someone finds a bleed on those cards I'll be happy to go and break them out.

This is, of course, not just limited to the 65 set
