I believe that these cards were early printings and corrections were made later on. So, in other words, the blue cap Jackie was printed before my PSA 4. The short sleeve Aberson was printed before the long sleeve, etc. Of course, one could argue that the opposite happened. For example, the long sleeve came out first and the short sleeve after due to a printing error. Ted Z. does argue this in one of his older posts on this forum.

Funny how the Leaf football variations get so much more official recognition.

I actually came across the similar variation on a Phil Rizzuto card last night, chalk it up the to unrecognized variations!

As far as I can tell the entire set has these variations.
The pinkish face on the blue hat is actually from them using basic magenta in the CMYK process. The cards with it aren't the easiest to find compared to the others. On Jackie it's harder to spot. On cards with a red background it's very easy. Like the Ruth card in this screenshot. Most or all the portraits and cards where a bat is near the border have the extra lines of color. It's deliberate, and I believe the order was. Pink backgrounds extra color along portraits/bats Red backgrounds extra color along portraits/bats Red backgrounds extra color along portraits/bats Shading added to hats Red backgrounds no extra color shading added to hats. Since there's four colors there are also some odd transitional types. I think the pink was changed because.... Kids didn't want pink baseball cards? The extra bars of color were probably removed to save a bit on ink. It seems trivial but over a long press run it adds up. (Or possibly a cost tradeoff with adding the shading. It's a pretty messed up set printingwise so who knows what they were thinking. ) I made a spreadsheet for myself with as many pictures of the variations as I could find. for most cards I found 3-4 but I consider it an ongoing thing. I check through ebay etc every now and then, and usually find a "new" one. |

The above card is from the hard-to-find second series and you can see how the striping on his jersey is missing on the second card. Was this change deliberate or a print error? Interesting stuff, for sure. Quote:

The one I bought
By request, here is the one I bought in early 1980 and sold at a REA auction in 2007 ( another boo boo on my part!)
https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...ce?itemid=8625 Lot #463 if the link doesnt work.... and before you feel sorry for me on that one, check out another one I sold in the same auction....... https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...ce?itemid=8304... Okay now be nice..... that last card has an interesting story as well. I was at the Nashville flea market on a Saturday in 1979, a collector showed me the card and said he had just bought it off someone walking around for $75!! I said man, I would have given him $100 easy!.... the guy pulled out the card and said.... SHOW ME THE MONEY! or something like that.... so I gave him $100, and took the thing home raw in no holder in my front shirt pocket!! When I sent it to Rob Lifson he was sure it had been trimmed but I dont think it ever was.... and it graded a solid 6 ( maybe should have gone higher?? ) anyhow its another one I wish I had back, Im sure weve all got stories like this and these are some of mine......
