I have a variant of every checklist except for # 1. Anyone have two versions of # 1 ?

I have a whole bunch of recurring print defects for this set. Many are just registration issues but many are not. The Pizzaro is one example...variations and print defects both
If you have time ( and it takes some time but worth the effort if you collect varants) you will find several 72 variants in this long ongoing variations thread here https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=187722 |

What do you use for your master checklist... PSA master, SCD, Beckett, or your own developed list ?

It's a combination of all of the above, plus TCDB and https://baseballcardvariationsguideb...wordpress.com/
for the most part. Also these boards. I think I define 'master' differently than some. I only include variations which result from human error - misspelled words, incorrect layouts, "traded" lines, things like that. So, Washington, Nat'l League and the Cubs that started this thread? Yes. I don't include accidents from the printing process itself - so, no Frank Thomas NNOF, 1967 Spiezios or Schaals, etc. I'd be chasing fish eyes and other detritus forever.

Do you include in your master all variations listed by one of the above sources or do you limit what they may list by your own definition ? Just curious. I tend to view variations as cards intentionally changed by the manufaturer ( not always easy to tell when a change was intentional), but I collect both variations and recurring print defects ( variants) with my sets. Many recurring print defects have been given the status of "variations" by the Hobby but the process in recent times ( post SCD Catalog) is chaotic at best .
Would be happy to participate in listing in this thread any variations or varants folks have for the 72 set...or not

Going back to the original post, I took a closer look at those series 1 Cubs variations.
There are 12 color combinations in the 1972 set - 2 teams for each. The Cubs shares its with the Indians. In all color combo pairs, the lettering and all its facets are identical, but not here. Look at the Indians - the areas under the letters are green. On the "correct" cubs 1st series cards, and all cubs throughout the set, the underside of the letters are yellow, which also matches the color of the thin border around the whole front of the card. Nowhere else does a card's underside coloring match the border. Look at the 1st series Cubs "errors" - the undersides of the S and C are green - this matches with the Indians colorings and contrasts with the border color. So what is going on? The "error" cards reflect 50% of what the Cubs cards SHOULD look like - green under the letters. The "correct" versions, and all other Cubs in the set are actually in 'error' in that they do not conform to the set's coloring pattern - they are in fact the ONLY team which fails to do so, so this makes it plain they are an aberration. I think the green ink was accidentally omitted from the U and B on the series 1 Cubs. Someone realized this created an issue, but rather than correct things and add green under the U and B, they erred and made the C and S yellow. Once that occurred, they kept the design yellow through the other 5 series for consistency. Reasonable? Last edited by deweyinthehall; 09-02-2024 at 03:04 PM. |

Did not know there was a #1 checklist variation. Can you tell me what it is? I am reasonably sure you have become the Emeritus DEMI-GOD of variations Al. Time for you to publish a detailed compendium. Regards, Butch.......

If it’s easy to share, what are the variants for each of the team checklists?
