Are there any unlisted/ little known variations in '78-'81 topps?

[BBCgalaxee]

Just picked up a huge lot of cards from this era. The lot was from a childhood collection & never cherry picked.

I know of the beckett listed variations ('79 wills, '80 stanley etc) during this era but interested if anyone knows others.

For instance, the 1978 (yes, '78) bump wills has an unlisted mega rare variation where someone at the topps plant circled the rookie cup in marker & ran it through the printing.

There are literally hundreds.

1978 is loaded. Way too many list but you can find much of this between Donovan's book and google searches.
1979 has a handful. Metzger, Dave Roberts, Yount, etc.
1980 has a handful. Almost entirely print flaws that have been "accepted" as legit variations by most collectors: Fred Stanley, Wathan, McEnerny, etc...
1981 has dozens but mostly the E* and F* sheet cards missing their top borders.
