So how is this card an UER just because ofthe color the name is in? The set has many cards that use different colors in the names and positions of the player.

I was tempted to remove it as an UER but I will wait for consensus.

Maybe because all the other St. Louis Cardinals cards have yellow names?  But I don't know if I'd consider that an error. Who's to say it wasn't intentional. If they had printed another version in yellow, then the red would be a variation.

Why'd you'd remove the UER on #64 Lew Burdette, "Lou" is a misspelling.  His middle name is Lewis and he used Lew.  If you go through his cards, it's about half & half Lew vs Lou.  They both can't be correct.

the cardpedia and beckett has it both listed as UER's too. the rest of the cardinals team , the wording are in all yellow, but this one is in red

I checked PSA. They consider Shannon's card an UER.

Each team for that set was supposed to have the lettering in all the same color, so yes, the red lettering on Shannon's card is a UER, unless there is a yellow version out there somewhere.

Ok, I have remarked the Burdette card as an UER but with aNote 2 field explaining the UER.  I added "vs yellow" in the Note2 fieldofthe Shannon card.  

In validating the notes, this is the problem - when people mark a card as an ERR, UER, or VAR without saying why it is so.  Thanks for the help on these two.

grrrrrrrrrr!!!! I hate those unexplained ERR, UER, VAR.  Another example of lazy cut & paste checklists.

I agree. Those ERR and VAR cards with no explanation are very annoying,  especially when images are not uploaded. I collect team sets and it is not easy to try to collect a team set with variations if I have no idea what the variation is. 

The other error in checklists I am finding frequently is a CL that has a VAR in the note 2 field but not marked as a VAR in note1, i.e. Note 1 should be "CL, VAR".

Checklist errors or varitions from the pre 1974 topps cards appeared to be from checklist being printed twice.

Example  series 2 card included in cards from 1st series, when 2nd series came out it was also on that sheet of cards along with the 3rd series checklist.

I remembered being cheated of a card when I got a checklist card that I got from the previous series. That could of been the Mays I normaly need for the team set to use as line up when listening to game.  This was when announcers didn't talk the whole game, an the Phillies were on TV once a week night if on the road, or just Sunday if at home.
