Show...me...your print variations!

I stumbled across this pretty cool color print flaw card on eBay at a very reasonable price (KitYoung of all people), I put a normal one next to it for contrast. P.S. eBay saw an uptick on sales of 1962 Topps Pizarro and McBride cards this morning due to the previous post .

I like the Aaron card, have you seen any other copies?

FWIW, I contributed to the spike as I grabbed one of the McBride cards so I had a second copy to put next to my Pizzaro copies.

It’s the only one I have ever seen, I stumbled across it a few weeks when I punched in ‘topps defect’ on eBay and it popped up. I found a partial 1958 Topps sheet with the Aaron All Star on it, it has the immortal Ray Monzant to the right of it and then three consecutive Stan Musial All Star cards in a row. I looked at all of the 58 Monzant cards on eBay, COMC, and DC but didn’t see any with a corresponding ink flaw.

Cliff, you are the man! I don't chime in much anymore due to time and three boys in 4-6th grade but I love browsing this thread and seeing these finds you and the others come up with. Keep em coming!

Are there many variants among the 3 boys, Joe?

[savedfrommyspokes]

Speaking of boys and variations, I have two boys whose greatest variance is their age, one is in 3rd grade, the other 6th. However, as of last week they were the same height and within a pound of each other. When they play on the same team they are routinely mistaken for each other....to avoid this, my younger son decided to wear his socks high to differentiate himself from his brother. This year they will be on different teams, thankfully.

Actually, yes, Al. All three were born within 32 months of each other. The first is a red head like mom, the second has dark brown hair like mine, and the third is a blondie. And yes, all with the same mother. We call them Neapolitan, lol.

Here is a HOFer print variation I have not seen before. This 70 Topps Juan Marichal has some sort of bluish print spot taking up most of his upper right arm. The blobs (each of blob appears unique) are themselves recurring but limited.

I'd heard of blue-flaming a fart but I thought it was an urban myth. Then I found this in a collection I bought:

Thank you Al, appreciate it. Neither of my spiked 57 Crandall cards have the blue haze(?) ...... can you post the different 60 Crandall variations you have?

Does that mean that the 58 Musial is a "triple print"?

I believe I read before that Topps celebrated that they finally signed Musial to a contract by triple printing his first card, the 58 All Star card. ETA, I think those are the also triple printed 1958 Mickey Mantle All Star cards under the three Musial triple printed cards in the scan.

To honor card variations, their cards from this past fall season each had a variation.....

Great looking cards, SFMS!
