1978 Topps Baseball Forum

There is a variation (even acknowledged by PSA) on card #374 - the ball where the position is had either just red stitches (like all the other 1978 Topps cards) or with black stitches over the red ones

I have requested that Admin send a mass e-mail to everyone who has the original listing (the red stitches) card in their collection data - I couldn't because there were several "Anonymous" names in the listings.

Below are the links to the two cards.

Red Stitches   or   Black Stitches

Thank you.

I have also seen Black stitches only listed  but am not sure if that really exists. Some I have seen are graded, labeled as black, but red is visible under the black. ????????

If the note says black it might be helpful if "over red" is added to the wording

Thanks for the note.

Are you familiar with the #23 Bump Wills with the circle? I submitted an IR to add  an even tougher to find variation of the black circle. If an image to clarify is wanted let me know.

I changed Note2 on nw one to read:

VAR: Black stitches (over red stitches) on position baseball

And images uploaded.

for what it is worth, beckett vintage annual guide lists these variations as well

fyi

I am sure I have never seen anything but the red stitches but it might be the Mandela Effect.

My set has the black version. Go figure.
