Going through a stack of 67’s Topps looking for any opc’s and I found something odd. Double printed 392 Harper……is this a known error?

Whole back�..

It's one of those things that can happen on any card; something run through twice. I tend to treat these like blank backs, something cool and a nice complement to a master set but probably exists somewhere on every card with a large production run like a Topps base set.

I am not seeing any copies with just one copy right line....while this mis-print may vary form other cards in the set, it appears all copies of this card have both lines and is not a variation.

I think they all have the double stamp. Just the one of the 4 I have has the bottom double stamped

I know this is post 1980, but I would really like you guys' opinion on this card. For my Cardinals team sets I only include reoccurring variations.

I can assure you that multiples exist of this because I own 2 of them. However, I can't find another example anywhere. I am wondering how common this is and whether or not to include it in my team sets.

This 1981 Topps Leon Durham has a black smear near the bill of the cap on the nameplate. Like I said, I own 2 of these that are identical but can't find another one anywhere else.

Scarce recurring print flaw ?

Looks like either overinking, or a slightly dry plate.

Both of those are somewhat transient, depending on how much the press operator cared. Dry plate could be an all day thing, overinking goes away fairly quickly.

The constant variety that may be on the plate would be the tiny gap in the left inner border. (There may be others, but I didn't look all that hard for them)

What number is it? I have a lot of 81Topps, and if it's a number under 528 I can look and see what I have. (Long story)
