You didn’t mention Checklist #6 variation w/ large and small print.

[ALR-bishop]

691 is what PSA lists for the 1962 Super set with the green tints, as opposed to the base and master set lists which do not have the green tints. But for 1962 and well as every other Topps set from the 60s there are at least 2 versions of each checklist. The differences were not intended like the Buhl and Tasby cards, but exist because the cards were double printed. They may never be added to the 691 but should. Most of the rest of these are just recurring print defects

CL 2 # 98...darker versus lighter print on front, note location of y in 119 Murphy, and how high the black bar goes up on left



CL 3 is recognized for 2 versions, List 3 or List, 3. But on the no comma the left black border can be in or out of the white



CL 4 # 278 can have light or dark wood and the names and boxes are more even on one version. I think the printing of names is also lighter or darker



CL 5 #367 has lighter or darker print of names and on lighter version there is upper left border defect. Plus 354 Mejias



Other print oddities, all recurring...Sawatski with blue near the flagpole



Babe as a Boy, non tint, slash by the A



Moon, non tint getting red



Pizzaro, who has some great defects in 72 also



Sadeki, blue between the legs



Duren, slash on neck



O'Toole, early mask issue ?



McDaniel, wrist issue and transition card



And the growing Dick Hall lip fungus

slowly but surely picking away at the 52 highs with these 2.

Ah yes, I did, I still need that one as well, looks pretty plentiful based on a quick ebay search.

Al, nice "collage" of variation and print defects. I don't tend to go for the print defects so by your definition I'm putting together the Super Set - has a nice ring to it!

I just finished my 1965 Topps set, all EX+, all centered!

That’s a nice accomplishment on the 65 set. Congratulations.

Nice! I am closing in on finishing 1965. Only 24 cards to go, but Clemente, Aaron, Mays, and (oddly enough) Uecker seem to elude me at every turn. I started the set 3 years ago and I expect it will take at least another year to finish.

As it is, I went to a show today and managed to knock off 4 out of the 7 cards I need to finish my 1960 set. And, thank God for small favors, only 1 of the 3 remaining cards is a Mantle.

I knew Uecker was popular as a broadcaster, but I couldn't believe the prices for his card. It's one of the SPs, but I ended up paying HOF prices for it. If you're a stickler for centering the #22 Charlie Smith is a real challenge too.
