Added another group of hall of famers to my set:

Great centering! Wow, you just don't see that very often on those 68s

Just in from the 'bay, a 1971 Topps Extra Glossy prototype, referenced by Bob Lemke in his Standard Catalog blog a while back: http://boblemke.blogspot.com/2010/08/71t-high-number-proofs-are-11.html

You can see the hazing at the top of the card referred to in Bob's post.

Neat item Dave. I have been thinking about looking for one of these after seeing Bob's article

[Robextend]

Was happy to pick up this beauty:

Very nice Irvin, Rob!

[David W]

Supposedly 70 Kellogg proofs, they are blank backed, the McCarver has
parallel lines in pencil traced on it.

[Robextend]

Very nice Irvin, Rob!

Thanks Phil!!

Great Monte Rob, makes me wish I didn't sell mine! Here's another group of hall of famers for my set.

[jb217676]

Here's a nice Bob Gibson:

I didn't even know there was such a thing as 74 deckle edge

[jb217676]

The '74 Deckle Edge cards exist but are a lot harder to find than the older issues.

[ALR-bishop]

The 74 Deckle set can be finished 4 different ways...grey back deckle, white back deckle, grey back undeckled proof and and white back undeckled proof. I am 7 white deckle backs short of having it 3 ways. My proof set is mixed. They are tougher than the 69s, but doable. The 69 proof sheets ( from 68) are tougher yet

[dstraate]

I am 7 white deckle backs short of having it 3 ways.

This is undoubtedly my favorite quote ever on this message board.

Picked these up as part of a collection I bought. Alot of 85-92 cards, but these were included(the reason I bought it) along with some basketball ones posted. There were also 7 checklists from the 60s, but I didn't think you guys would want to see those. I wish the Schmidt(or Cey card as my dad says since he is a Dodgers and Cey fan) card was not completely off center. But overall I was pleased to add these to my collection.

[ALR-bishop]

Which of the 3 Spahns did you get ?

Which of the 3 Spahns did you get ?

It is the '21. Corrected version.

[jb217676]

Many thanks to Rob Miller for helping me get this one!

[hofers]

After a dozen of upgrades over the last 10 years, I think I am finally content with a nice Jackie! :)

[53Browns]

Tough card in this condition...

Every time I see one I think of "Needful Things" by Stephen King

Whoa Nellie!
