I received this sweet little specimen in the mail today.

That one used to go for a fair amount of money at one time

I paid more to have it shipped than I did for the card. I’ll chalk it up to luck.

Depending on the seller is still does.

These two cards have a different team name in black over the silver application of the team name. Many cards have issues with missing silver or smearing, but this is different. I got these out of a factory set. 2006.

187 Ryan Klesko (not sure what the word is)
234 Luis Rivas ("Royals" over the silver Twins)

Are those reoccurring? With my Cardinals collection that is always the key for me.

I don't know, I was hoping someone here might know. Unlike a 50's or 60's common, there are not many 2006 Luis Rivas cards online to look at to ID others. It's somehow harder to match defects with high print run more recent cards...

Those are a real puzzle.

Usually that sort of thing is from the foil roll not advancing and the foiling equipment trying to apply foil that isn't there anymore.

You can sort of see where the foil panels on the sides are incomplete too.

The question though is what card the foil was put on. I'm not familiar enough with 2006 Topps to know, but the font is different, and it doesn't affetct the bottom half of the card.

Foil problems are pretty common in 2006, where the foil is a little incomplete in a small spot, or slightly goes outside the lines. This is pretty unusual, but so few common cards are online, unlike vintage base, that it might be recurring and even fairly common. I did expect to find two more cards from this sheet misprinted wherever this stray text came from, but everything else on the sheet was printed right (since it came from a factory set, all the cards on that sheet is in this box). Odd.

I found this in a box of 1980 Topps. I haven't seen anything like it on any other cards from the set.

A different version of the Quintana registration mark is also found on some of the micro's. I have yet to see any on the gold or gold winners.

Is this yellow in Pitcher on the 1980 Don Stanhouse card a known variation? Just noticed this today looking through my set.

[Cliff Bowman]

I don't know if it's well known or not but I bought one years ago on eBay that had the yellow in the listing description. I also have Putman and Wockenfuss which I believe are known. ETA, mine is a little different than yours.

Who was in charge of the yellow paint in 1980?
