1965 Topps Transfers -- New Variation Discovered

45 years after it was issued, a variation has been discovered in Ron Hunt's '65 Topps Transfer. His card can be found showing him either as a shortstop or as a 2nd baseman.

See my Vintage Baseball Cards blog for a picture of both cards and details.

Considering Topps cards are some of the most widely collected card issues of all and subject to intense scrutiny over the years, I'm surprised this one took so long to surface.

On a related question...since it isn't yet known whether one version is scarce, can anybody here who owns a Hunt card in that set tell which variation you have?

    Next time try to make such a finding earlier Chris. It is somewhat inconvenient at my age to now have to go out and look for another Hunt at 2b

    Trust me, Al...had I known about this one sooner, I'd have spilled the beans then.
