However I enjoy seeing all the stuff you and others post here

I've been doing the completely arbitrary and personal 'I collect a stock variety if it is apparent enough at a glance that I can tell in an eBay listing which version it is without zooming in'. I skip the superstars, getting a second Joe Sparma for thirty nine cents on COMC is a fun cross-off on my checklist, paying for another Hank Aaron isn't really worth it to me.

I'm getting pretty deep into the Milton Bradley's, mostly stuck on the 22 Hot Rod cards in the set. They aren't any rarer, but people just don't bother to sell them since they aren't worth much. I need the Ryan still....

This one is interesting, to me anyway. Bowman 1950 cards 181 to 252 can be found with or without the copyright on the back. Cards with no copyrights are tougher, and no copyrights from 181 to 210 are very tough to find.

Card 245 Papai can be found not only with copyright and without, but also with a blue arc on the bottom front. The arc versions are scarce but occur on both the copyright and no copyright versions, which is what I found interesting.

I think Thomas may have posted the arc version previously

Yes, I was the one who posted this. I realize it is impossible to show the front vs. back since scanning does not work that way, but I azure you that this is accurate.

Since those 4 are mine, which I hunted down after Thomas posted his. I agree the defect can be ground on cards with either back. Reminds me of the 52 Yellow Tiger House that can be found on both the regular and scarce grey back versions
