1975 topps baseball Chris Speier printing flaws?

I was going through my cards since there isn't much else to do right now and pulled out a 1975 topps Chris Speier baseball card that seems to have some major printing flaws .. streak of lost gloss , orange speckles around his neck and face and fading black shadowing around the team name as well as fading on his name .. has anyone else run into flaws like this for the 75 topps ? .

    typical of the set or not so much? i have partial set (218 cards) and its the only one that looks like that .

    In my estimation there are a limited number one off/limited run blackless (also Cyan, Yellow, Magenta) for every year that Topps used this printing process (essentially through 1991). There is a thread somewhere that shows a few examples from several different years. Not familiar with any other examples from 1975 but I'm sure they are out there. I'd guess that you have one of these one off examples
