1990 topps BB Print defects (NOT Frank Thomas related)

So I recently purchased a case of vending directly from BBCE, and I was just curious what exactly happened with this card:
I’m guessing it’s yellow ink smeared? Is it fairly common among the 90 topps? I pulled this directly from the vending box. TIA!

Gahh. I hate photobucket. I’m working on it.
Anyone have a better hosting site than photobucket? So I found three cards that have this ink issue; two of them match, and I think Dipino matches on the bottom. They are all off the Bsheet. I’ll open another case tomorrow and see what I can find. I’m thinking I’m probably going to find more.

Just curious, are you taking these pictures with your phone? If so, you can load the pics into your post straight from your phone rather than putting them into photo bucket first.

Oh man. I see the icon now. Siiiiiigh.
Thanks for pointing that out!
It looks like the yellow ink roller was too saturated on that run causing an extra bleed of ink. This is fairly common across the late 1980s and early 1990s packs I have opened since they were cranking these off the presses as fast as they could print them. Most collectors view these as a print defect. If you land a star with this defect, some die-hard player collectors will pay a small premium for them. Good luck with the rest of the break. Hopefully there are many GEM MINT Big Hurt rookies in your future!!
Okay good to know, thank you! I found a few more too! Looks like more than one B sheet was affected too! Too bad Frank wasn’t on the B sheet! I found the match under dipino, I’ll post any new ones I find. Can’t wait for your next box break!!
Looks like someone forgot their Charmin at the Topps factory that fateful day.
Boom. (not for sale)

Very nice!! I have one similar:
Perhaps they’re from the same sheet? I’ll have to look.
I hate fisheyes.

I bet I searched these forums 100 times, and have never seen that thread. Thanks!
My post originally was about the weird yellow ink on a case of 1990 I’m breaking, but thought it’s be more fun if others had some unique ones as well. Thanks for sharing that thread!
I believe that Lee Smith is the only non-print defect variation in the entire set.

Thoughts on these errors from 1990 topps?
I feel like I ran into a Box that was put together 30 years ago and years ago and it was an early run
Any help or advice to see what the market is on something like this if there is value to it would be appreciated
Thank you very much

Those are non-recurring print defects. Pick up a stack of 100 Topps cards from that era and you'll be able to find similar on most cards.
