#258 Tommy John has black streaking or a single vertical black line in the lower right by the position bubble. It can be found in many, many different varieties, probably well over a dozen patterns. Here's just one example image. It's easier to steal COMC scans than to edit my phone pics to meet Net54's low-quality only image limits.

296 Jose Cruz can be found with damage to the black in lower left. This is recurring; not just a one off with a poor black ink pass. Fairly tough.

397 Dave Cash has this blue streaking from his arm down into the name and team name. Recurring (10% maybe?), on a minority of cards.

Anyone have a list of the border break cards in the 73 set?

The way it looks one could just about complete a base set and a separate variation set of the 73 Topps set.


I picked up this version the other day. Bottom coach has a hat and not much else.

I have around 15 of the 1973 Topps Dave Cash roller mark print errors, everyone one of them is different than the other. The 1973 Topps 5th Series 397-528 is plagued with recurring print errors, the Jerry Reuss seems to be the rarest.

Is this Reuss recurring? Pretty cool one. '73 has been low on my priority list so I'm certainly less knowledgeable on this set than most of you guys.

I never know how to catalog cards like the Cash, the 59 Sauer, where there is a recurring problem but that problem manifests into essentially unlimited slightly different versions. Makes it difficult to track on my spreadsheets my % of completion of a 'total master'.

Yes, but it is very rare. I bought my first one on COMC for a few dollars and then I saw one on Dean's Cards for $1 because they thought it was damaged (paper loss?) and I haven't seen one since, of course Al has one .
