I think it's a neat recurring print flaw but I wouldn't consider it a bona fide variation.

What causes that type of defect? And would you expect others in that series to exhibit similar defects?

1961, #519, Pags can be found both with and without a blue swirl by the catcher's mitt. It is easily found.

1972 topps cubs TC 192……not really a E and V but a cool 3D color shift

That is awesome, the color shift cards are among my favorites.

Ok, here’s an expensive one that I just ran across while looking for my 1972 topps Nolan Ryan. Missing ink version? Smuggling on the plate? Here’s 3 different cards

Either this thread has run its course or everyone is just busy doing other things.

But....here are the next batch of my purchases of variations that I have picked up since the last time I posted.

Starting with 1969 Topps..

More Gaylord Perry's
Perry YL with Blue streak between the eyes on forehead - partial number obscure on back.

Perry WL and two YL cards - Blue streak side of face. The second YL variation has the blue streak but it is broken into two parts.


Sunny Siebert too.

All three Sieberts have the Black thread over the I in Indians. First one is a bit lighter than the others. And one I picked up only because of the yellow registration being off.

Checked my set and did not have this one. Just picked the variation up on Ebay. Many available.

Thanks!
