Beautiful 67 Frank Robinson! I'm not sure if it was an issue with the printing, or the yellow is more susceptible to fading, but the ORIOLES team name is more faded on a lot of the 67 Topps Orioles cards that I've seen.
Yours seems brighter than most.

Thanks. I will agree it's a pretty card. Also interesting if you look, the font for "Frank" in his name at the top is about .5 of a row higher than "Robinson Outfield." There were some strange things going on in the early series in '67.

He must have accidentally nudged it with his bat.

I never noticed that before. I even went to check and my copy has that as well. Very odd!

Yep. There are other typesetting oddities in the '67 set. Part of it's charm to me.

Wow! His name is almost into the border on yours. I'd love to rewind to early-1967 and be part of the conversation with the Quality Control department at Topps.

Talk about rabbit trails. I had to go pull all my 67T Frank Robinson cards, and yep, the first name is high and outside on every one.
And on another note, I went to the LCS yesterday to get supplies, and they had a new case set up for a new consignor. So of course I had to buy some random cards. Here is the best of them. |

I was hoping the "roll eyes" emoji would give me away, but mine is exactly the same as yours plus a little Photoshop trickery. I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Man, if mine is 1.5 spaced on the name, yours is double spaced. This is not a recognized variation?
