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.

Continuing on with my variation pickups...I give you my 70's next.

Freehan - A.S. Red Boxes
Fregosi - White Line on top and dark line right border
Bunker - Slight pink bleed and greater pink bleed

Sliding into the 71s next.

Compton- Blue line bottom of card
Grabarkewitz - Yellow dot next to head
Tolan - Black Stripe across card
McQueen - Not easy to see in the scan but also a lite black stripe across card. you can really see it show up comparing it to his card with a darker stripe and the base card with no stripe at all.

Not certain the white line Fregosi should be counted as a print variation - seam lines like this appear on many Topps sets without white borders (1970 and 1962 come immediately to mind) where blocks of rows are repeated on the same sheet. So, on every 1970 sheet containing a Fregosi there is a white line between his row and the row above. The reason it can be seen on some cards and not others is simply due to whether the card is cut off-center. It's actually more a miscut than a variation.
