1953 topps Roy Campanella giant green blob variation
It’s funny as someone who usually ignores print blobs as variations for example 1967 bob bolin that everyone loves in the variation community. Well this 1953 Roy Campanella with the giant green blob has me interested and on my bucket list of cards. I was very pleased to pick one up today after a couple…

1964 topps paul toth error
Im not sure what to say but the pictures say it all, if you are a 1964 master set builder or someone who has to have every error out there like myself. Then 1964 ”aul” toth is for you when ever a full letter is missing on the front of the card and it has…

1957 topps whitey ford new York New York obscured error
The Yankees in the 1950s-1960s had a team that will never be re-created. So it’s only fitting that the chairman of the board was their Ace and possibly the best the franchise has ever had as a pitcher? To me that sure makes it more exciting to find a re-occuring error on the back of…

1972 Topps Bob Gibson error card
All lined up in the second picture, you can see the different variation of amount of text missing on back on 1972 Bob Gibson. As a variation hunter I see 6 cards here, 2 are the same and 4 are the same. This is of course my new favorite card in the 1972 set though…

What can I say except the title and pictures describe exactly the variation here! I’ve noticed 3 different variations on 1954 Sid Hudson the one with the regular face the one with a dark gray face and the one with his face completely blacked out. The one with his face completely blacked out also has…

1966 topps Ron Santo league spelled wrong.
For 1960s master set builders 1966 is probably only second to 1967 for die hard set builders and master set builders. If you are building a 1966 master set this will fit in perfectly and what’s best it’s corrected and pretty tough to find! When ever I see a new error the first thing I…

Newly Discovered 1958 Topps Mickey mantle variation!
Will this prove to be the big kahuna of errors for the 1950s? Mickey mantle cards might just be the most scrutinized and prized cards in the hobby. Which is why it’s hard to believe that a base card of the commerce comet could have such a drastic error that no one has noticed in…

1953 topps Jim fridley outfielder spelled wrong error
1953 topps Jim fridley As seen in the picture above this variation is extremely straight forward. Originally I believe the r in outfielder was low on ink but when Topps corrected this error they almost over corrected it. If you look closely the r appears slightly too big for the rest of the text size.…

1955 topps Ted Williams signature missing dots variation
1955 ted Williams with no dots in his i i signature. What can I say about Ted Williams other than he is John Wayne’s hero and Chuck Norris’s father. Aside from being known as the best hitter to ever live and someone who’s plane was shot in Korea and did a crash landing in his…
