1952 Topps Images of All Variations <Rolling Thread>

[ALR-bishop]

Zac---had not seen the PSA link. It has a couple I had not seen. I have never added the ones in the 52 Gallery thread you posted that are not in the H&S list of 579 ( like a couple Dale posted), so do not have a list of 600 plus. I assume if you do it is "proprietary" for now ? Seems to me if we are going to catalog what is out there it would be best to go 1-407 and let people identify anything they have for each number.

For example for #1 Pafko would be two ? ( red and black).

I have always shared my knowledge and do not consider the list proprietary. However, that being said I needed to get permission from sources that told me and I do not have everyone's ok yet. I do not anticipate this to be an issue in the end.

Your idea of posting 1-407 is maybe the best way to inventory the variations. Maybe at the top of each new variations post we include the card # and back variation (ie red, black, tan or gray back) and go from there.

Irv, could you edit your post to add this?

The House yellow Tiger version appears to have a green neck version, similar to the one you posted but more pronounced. Your thoughts on rarity of this version are consistent with my understanding, although I am certainly not an expert.

With Wilson and Lopat, I just came across those cards from my own collection. I believe it was in the variation thread and the talk at the time that I decided to see if I could find any anomalies/variations with mine and just happened upon those 2.

Here are some pics of the more "greenish neck" (I said yellow by mistake) on the majority of the Frank House Yellow Tiger cards.
I do not believe my card has this "tint" or "Hue" but maybe my eyes are lying?
(I edited my photos above)

Missed color passes to me are not a true variation but to each his or her own.

Are you referring to the house card?

House is not missing a color pass. Upon magnification there is red around the yellow tiger on one card, the red pixels have been deliberately removed in an area on the green throat card.

Just a general observation, kind of in the same category as print flecks and the like. If a mask was removed or added, that would create a variation.

Ah ok! Since the house is definately not a missing ink pass!

Irv,

Nice green neck variation. There seem to be "a lot" of variations with certain cards. One is the 1952 Topps House and the other is the 52 Topps Campos.
