This is the first time I've ever seen a print defect/anomaly like that on Lou.

Interesting.

Here are six example of the logo cropping issues form the 1955 Topps set. The are #14,26, 30, 50, 70, and 80. Some are more scarce than others.

Thomas---did you and George ever do an article on these cropping differences in the 55 Topps set ? Do you have a list of all the impacted cards ? Think the differences involve DP cards or was something else at work ?

This was George's earlier article on some 55 variants. Not included is the two versions or #2 Williams, with or without the dots in the auto

I am fairly sure that a couple of these are too new to have been in the article. I am betting that double printing is involved, but I notice that a search on eBay and COMC yields NONE of these logo variants, which kind of implies that Topps may have hurriedly fixed the problems so that the lion's share are correct.
