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

Here are four really wild overprinted backs from one of my favorite sets.

Here are four missing ink card backs to rival the Bakep one. I never understand why Bakep commands such interest and high prices. There were all commons less than $10, except maybe Ford.

Back leak? I just found another on eBay so I guess reoccurring?

Line break in the circle containing the card number. Recurring print defect.

The Bakep like the Herrer just got early hobby recognition before eBay and seller/dealer scans showed how many cards have similar scarce recurring defects. Ongoing recognition by grading companies make them must have’s for master collectors.

For a time Lemke included some border break cards in the SCD Catalog as variations until it became obvious that such defects were commonplace

A bigger mystery to me was PSA’s much more recent recognition of the 61 Fairly with the green smudge in the baseball on the back, a defect that shows up on several other 61 cards

Someone needs to be appointed The Hobby Commissioner of Variations to get control of these things. I nominate you Thomas
