In his book about the1963 set he notes that the Stafford card was issued on two different cereal boxes. A 13 oz Alpha Bits and a 12 oz. Post Toasties.

He goes on to describe how to tell the differences between the cards for those working on a Master Set.

Among the descriptions are note the color of the grass above his right shoulder. On the Alpha Bits card it is deep green while the Post Toasties has a lighter shade of green. The stands on the Alpha Bits are blue while the Post Toasties is purple/gray.

So the card with the red line to the border is off of a Alpha Bits box white the shorter line is from a Post Toasties box

Totally agree with Whiteymet. Cards came from different cereal panels on different products. For folks who collect master sets of these Post Cereal cards, differences appear on each card of a player, for every different cereal box he appeared on. Those differences allow a collector to be able to put together a master set of cards. Dan's books are great, and wonderful tools in building that master set.

Also believe the reissuance of his books will occur soon. Very soon.

This could be sun/light exposure damage bleaching out the yellow ink.

No, it is recurring and not overly rare and has been known for quite a while. Definitely a printing flaw and not a true variation. https://www.ebay.com/itm/25613426544...Bk9SR-rw8c22ZA ETA here's one that sold recently. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Topps-....m43663.l10137

Ah, thanks.

Here are some variations of the Fischer card. The one in the top row has a white streak. The first one in the bottom row is similar to the one posted. The middle one is slightly different. The last one is the normal card.
