Like Youngblood, Mike Phillips #113 has frequent recurring black smearing, although the pattern of it changes heavily. Seems like half or so of Phillips cards have some version of it.

243 Sal Butera, with light green slash in his cheek. This version doesn't appear to be difficult.

311 Freddie Patek, 5'4 wonder, with yellow spotting by Topps logo, name, and lower right of the image. Appears to be tough.

333 Lee Lacy, with red all over the lower half of his jersey. Most copies do not have any red here at all.

412 Britt Burns, with pink spotting over the sky. The exact pattern of the pink varies card by card, but is recurring. Most copies don't have the stray pink at all.

Lacy and a bunch of other 81s have a no top border version. I have 27 of them. I think Cliff may have more than that They are recurring but scarce

Thank you Al, good to know. I don�t know anything about this set, I collected junk wax as a kid because it was so cheap, and I have always been into vintage, but 1976-1984 has been a blank spot. I bought 1980-1984 sets the last three months and am just starting to go through them, pulling any print defects I find that I can find as recurring.

Apologies if any of these recurring defects are already known to you gentlemen who know these sets better.

Are the two back stocks known? There is clearly a light and dark grey stock here. There is more of the dark grey in this particular set I bought for $50.

So far John Pacella with his hat falling off is the coolest card, no offense to the stud rookies.
