It's nice when they are cheap, I hate when some schmuck posts a superstar variant

Some of these I just settle for one copy, others I obsessively hoard all the different manifestations I can find. I've got to be up to 20+ different copies of the 1959 Hank Sauer yellow smearing now.

I looked for a clean Phillips and thought I found some, but after getting 2 of them they have turned out not to really be actually clean. I think I'm calling it a day lol

I am sure that my "clean" one will actually not be clean when I get it. It should be the cleanest of the bunch so it will be ok.

I received this sweet little specimen in the mail today.

That one used to go for a fair amount of money at one time

I paid more to have it shipped than I did for the card. I’ll chalk it up to luck.

Depending on the seller is still does.

These two cards have a different team name in black over the silver application of the team name. Many cards have issues with missing silver or smearing, but this is different. I got these out of a factory set. 2006.

187 Ryan Klesko (not sure what the word is)
234 Luis Rivas ("Royals" over the silver Twins)

Are those reoccurring? With my Cardinals collection that is always the key for me.

Those are a real puzzle.

Usually that sort of thing is from the foil roll not advancing and the foiling equipment trying to apply foil that isn't there anymore.

You can sort of see where the foil panels on the sides are incomplete too.

The question though is what card the foil was put on. I'm not familiar enough with 2006 Topps to know, but the font is different, and it doesn't affetct the bottom half of the card.

A different version of the Quintana registration mark is also found on some of the micro's. I have yet to see any on the gold or gold winners.

Is this yellow in Pitcher on the 1980 Don Stanhouse card a known variation? Just noticed this today looking through my set.
