Another 1970, one I got in recently. I have seen a second copy of this so it is recurring, though I think pretty tough. This is the same problem as the #182 Dick Hall from somewhere in this thread. I'm calling them the 'mottled' versions in my checklist. Hall was on a cream back, this one is a white back. I would imagine they may exist cross stock, and probably more series 2 cards can come this way.

Dave Nicholson #234 comes with or without this yellow strip beneath his arm in the inset photo. Both versions are easy to find. I suspect this is one that was steady on one the cards placements on a sheet.

That card also can be found with a white line across the top too. Question for you. Do you have these defects already in your collection or do you come across them as you do searches? And do you have a database of all your defects/variations? Can a glom onto a copy of it if you do? I have seen comments here regarding your extensive expertise in this area and have added many cards to my collection based on your postings. Point in fact, I finally found the one you just listed. Not an easy one to come by based on my searching.....but I have one now. Thanks. Butch

Anything I post I have, but since I do variants for all Topps, Fleer and Bowman sets I do not keep a master list. Way back we debated starting a list or index in the never ending variations thread but gave up early on. I too get a lot of help in looking for stuff from the postings on here.
I have often used Richard Dingman's lists. This is just his 50s list https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrF...2N_HQLdKk5xD8- Last edited by ALR-bishop; 07-28-2022 at 10:27 AM. |

Thanks for the info and the link Al.
Nice info on that site, or bad for a variation searching junkie. Regards, Butch.

1957 #374 Cardwell
On this card, there is a red slash on his right arm and a short vertical line at the top. I have one and saw three of these on COMC. All have both the slash and the line.

'71 Progressive Proofs
LOVE the coloring on those '71 Progressive Proofs.
|
#2213
|

Thank you, Mark. Obviously, the Bando and the Fregosi appear to be "blue" only proofs. The Wine card seems to have just 3 colors lacking the black, the same as the Garvey in this thread: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?p=1583626
As with the Garvey and Beckert card, these 3 cards have normal backs My question then is, is the Wine card simply black-less card or is it a 3-color progressive proof? If it is a 3-color progressive proof, what is the progression of the first 3 colors on the progressive proofs? My guess is that blue would be the first color as the Beckert, Bando and Fregosi cards are blue only. So, is a blue/yellow only card or a blue/red only card second in the progression after the blue only? ETA: I found my own answer: From the Dictionary of Marketing Terms: progressive proofs (progs) Set of proofs made during the four-color printing process; also called color proofs. Typically, there are seven different impressions in a set of progressive proofs: one for each color alone and then the combinations as succeeding colors are added. The final proof will show the finished color reproduction. An example of a progressive sequence follows: (1) impression of the red plate; (2) impression of the yellow plate; (3) impression of the yellow plate on the red plate; (4) impression of the blue plate; (5) impression of the blue plate on the yellow and red plate; (6) impression of the black plate; (7) impression of the black plate on the yellow, red, and blue plate. With this in mind, the Wise and Garvey cards would be #5s, while the Fregosi and Bando would be #4s. Last edited by savedfrommyspokes; 08-03-2022 at 01:01 PM. |

The progression list above would explain this black only card I received with the other 3. This card is a blank backed card.

Break out your '53 BC Folks.
Being a single player collector and combing over the same cards gives you a wide array of what to expect. I found that Reds '53 Bowman color usually has a very small small red dot, very faint red line, or in this case (the only one I've ever seen) a complete bloody wound. No it's not a mark. I can't tell if it's a print defect or an actual injury red had that was caught and airbrushed very early on. To me it looks like the ladder and fits his skin too well for a print defect. I've been looking for over a year and headed to the national trying to find another example as one of my top priorities. Alas nothing came close. So I've given up looking for another and wondered if anybody on the board had one. Thanks Lucas

Received this in a lot today..one of the lightest Luis Alcaraz with the Omaha O clear on the hat (I think)..but a Dodgers Jersey?

Strange, that sure doesn't look like it could possibly be an Omaha jersey but his hat clearly was. You can make out the O on a normally tinted card if you angle it and squint. Omaha was a Royals farm team, so the photo must be from after his sale to the Royals. Odd he'd still pose with a Dodgers jersey

Just picked up some Gil Hodges rocking a little earring bling!
He will be removed from the tomb and will join all the rest of his friends in the binder. Another variation off the list. Cheers, Butch

This may sound a little whack. I looked at a number of these cards and they all have that "O-esque" look about them. I am thinking that it may just be an unintended consequence of a bad attempt of covering up the "LA" on the hat. They all have that "O" look about them. The other circumstance that leads me to believe the above. The Omaha Royals started operations in 1969. My WAG here is that picture of Alcaraz would have been taken in 68. If that is the case, then no Omaha Royals team existed in 68. Cheers, Butch.

A couple of his cards where it looks like he just drank some blood.

4 more: 75 - Topps Brent Strom
Brent has /at least/ 4 variations. 3 don't look all that bad and 1 looks like a bad scab to the left side of his temple.

Do not think it is legit. Seller had it up for low price with no mention of the defect/oddity. Nothing shows up on blue light but whatever it is does not scape off and does not seem like marker or white out

Has to be legit.....that KC looks like so many team logos from previous bad Topps attempts. You gotta deal. HUGE WINK goes here.
That is a cool find though. Cheers, Butch

My last three all have varying amounts of the red/white anomaly from the 2nd image scribbled in by someone at Topps. IMO, the most common variety is the first one, the one where the print anomaly is all white. |

Larry,
Thanks for your additional info on Strom. So there are at least 6 (not 4 mentioned above). I'll add them to my library and be on the look out for them now. Frankly the one (now three) variations look like gunshot wounds to me. Not a great way to describe it though. Cheers, Butch

Well Larry,
I think I found just that, another version. Brent's wound is healing nicely. Brent is gonna bankrupt me before all is said and done. I think I am up to 8 now by my count. Plus the base. 9 Total. And I need 3 out of that 8 now.

"Lefty" Grove comes with or without this mark in the left border. It's a green line with a small red line above it. Most Grove's are found off-center with a thicker left border, but even those not cut properly usually don't have the mark. I don't know the sheet layout but would guess this is probably a mark from the sheet, by a single slot, for part of production. I have only noticed this on the normal cream stock, not the tougher glossy version of the issue (card on the right is the glossy).

The # 80 card cost more than the pack It is on the back of the Grove. Can also be found on the backs of Tinker and Collins. Grove seems to have it more than the other two, but still quite rare. They do not come up very often. Not likely issued at retail, unless maybe a few by mistake. They can be found as unissued proofs or cancelled/cut. There is no Pepper Martin card in the set

Ever since I found Mr. Dingmans list, I have been a variation adding fool.
I recently picked up the following 1971 Topps Bob Johnson's. Two were somewhat expected (left and center) and one, the 50th Anniversary card, was not expected. Cheers Butch
