1978 Topps Variations

[ALR-bishop]

Oh Boy, Doug will love these. What I have for 78 is as follows:

23 Wills with and without the black ring between player and trophy
49 Kranepool with or without black line from ball to border
105 Cleveland with white or yellow sleeve
137 Kusick...with large fish eye at Twins
197 Espinosa with all dark Afro or shades of brown
214 Angels---guy in front with yellow/black or black/red stripes
215 Evans ---with or without large G on catcher's shoulder
267 Ault--with one, two or three black lines under U in name
3o0 Carty...with or without a z under Indians
374 Morales...ball stitches black, red or mixed
454 LaRoche Left border green or blue
518 Boggs...with no marks or with pink dot in ball or black dot to left of hat
536 Harrison..with black or red black stitches on ball
540 Carlton...with regular border or large white semi circle
717 Briles--with or without blue blob on front chest ( discussed in SCD article)
725 Bevaqua...with or without large brown mark on shoulder ( discussed in SCD article)

I don't know if the red marks are printers marks or errant ink. Here is an example of what i do think is a printers mark ( although scarce, I have seen this one numerous times on ebay with different amounts of the notation showing)
