Well, it’s not really much of a variation, but still, I noticed it awhile back when I was going through my stuff, and put the cards aside and have been meaning to do a blog post about them but haven’t until now..

The “variation” is just a small black print dot, but it matches exactly on two of my cards, and doesn’t appear at all on the third. It’s in the same exact spot on the two cards it appears on. (Click the photos below for a larger view)

A few years ago I noticed a similar variation on 1968 Topps #385 Jim Catfish Hunter cards, with a print dot at the top border of each card except the first one in the scan below. Not a big deal as far as variations go, but I thought it was interesting. (Click the photos for a larger view)
