FT: Errors & Variations-a-palooza!!!! (super scan heavy)

[JollyElm]

Hi JollyElm,

Amazing scans and information, thank you!

I had a question about this one: 1968 Topps 120 Mel Stottlemyre - Milton Bradley. Extremely tough.

This looks identical to my standard 1968 Topps 120. What is the difference? I'm sure I am missing something but I just don't see it.

Thanks again!

It's all about the backs. The yellow used on the MB's drastically stands out from the 'normal' yellowy/orange color that Topps used on their standard cards. Take a look at this scan. The card on the left is the regular Topps and the card on the right is the Milton Bradley:



When you have a stack of lower numbered 1968 cards and flip them over, if there are any MB's there, the color difference will leap out at you.

Ah, perfect! I see it now, thanks.

Guess I have a few more cards to add to the list!
