Hall of Famer Tommy Nobis, #151, comes with and without this red dash beneath his position. Neither is difficult.

Heck, he ain't looking to good...

This one is recurring, but pretty darn rare. Note the big blue cloud everywhere. 1960 Fleer print defects are almost cheating, though. This set was not printed well for some reason, even though Fleer's other card offerings of 1959 and 1960 were just fine. You don't see big problems all the time in the 1959 and 1960 baseballs, for example.

One from a lot in my upcoming Sept auction

Tommy Nobis comes the same way as the Sayers. I found a couple more Sayers on eBay that are listed. It can't be the whole sheet available this way or more would be evident; it looks like it strikes Sayers about as often as it does Nobis. I wonder where they were placed on the sheet.

Like Nobis, there's another version of Sayers, where his name appears fine but a fainter misaligning of ink from the bottom part of the green banner is in the same spot.

A 1968 Topps #151 Tommy Nobis with the red dash variant, and a big red issue, all over his shoulder, and over the rights side of his face and his chin. Not sure if recurring yet, pretty much any Topps card can eventually be found with some kind of red or yellow ink 'explosion'.

1951 Bowman Crazy Legs Hirsch with the back blue ink doublestruck, but not the red

G1911 · #9 12-17-2024, 12:59 AM

1965 Topps Bob Schmidt #20. Unlike most Topps cards with these cut/splice/whatever lines, this one has it on front and back.

G1911 · #10 12-17-2024, 01:06 AM

1948 Leaf #78 Clarence Self, with sheet marks in the top left is recurring.

G1911 · #11 12-17-2024, 01:13 AM

1964 Topps #170 Don Rodgers. The blue dot in bottom border on off center cards is recurring.

G1911 · #12 12-17-2024, 01:28 AM

Exhibits Charley Conerly comes with or without the big slash between his helmet and his hand. Both are common

I've seen a few of these 'Blue Box/White Letters' Ernie Davis RCs. A couple are on eBay right now. Looks like a print defect - missing yellow ink? I tried looking for other Green Box/Yellow letter players but couldn't find any examples.

Looks like extended sunlight exposure to me.

That was my first thought. I have seen probably 4-5 of these. There is a PSA 8 on eBay right now. Just odd to see that many with the same 'exposure' or same level of damage. I'll hope to find another player someday....
