Show...me...your print variations!

Does anyone else have a 1979 Topps #440 Rusty Staub with a variation on the front of the card on Staub's helmet that look like a large peanut? Is it a recognized variation?

Thanks!

You have a picture or a post # for it? I would guess it is a print error like almost every card in this thread. They are fun to collect but very few are actually recognized variations.

Another 1970, one I got in recently. I have seen a second copy of this so it is recurring, though I think pretty tough. This is the same problem as the #182 Dick Hall from somewhere in this thread. I'm calling them the 'mottled' versions in my checklist. Hall was on a cream back, this one is a white back. I would imagine they may exist cross stock, and probably more series 2 cards can come this way.

EDIT: #247, Lou Klimchock

Dave Nicholson #234 comes with or without this yellow strip beneath his arm in the inset photo. Both versions are easy to find. I suspect this is one that was steady on one the cards placements on a sheet.

Al,

That card also can be found with a white line across the top too.

Question for you. Do you have these defects already in your collection or do you come across them as you do searches? And do you have a database of all your defects/variations? Can a glom onto a copy of it if you do?

I have seen comments here regarding your extensive expertise in this area and have added many cards to my collection based on your postings. Point in fact, I finally found the one you just listed. Not an easy one to come by based on my searching.....but I have one now.

Thanks.

Anything I post I have, but since I do variants for all Topps, Fleer and Bowman sets I do not keep a master list. Way back we debated starting a list or index in the never ending variations thread but gave up early on. I too get a lot of help in looking for stuff from the postings on here.

I have often used Richard Dingman's lists. This is just his 50s list
