An interesting aspect is that all of the players are on either the Tigers, Braves or Cardinals.
772 - Kent Mercker (Braves)
743 - Bryn Smith (Cardinals)
742 - Tommy Gregg (Braves)

492 - Ernie Whitt (Braves)
383 - Pete Smith (Braves)
351 - Joe Torre (Cardinals)
185 - Joe Magrane (Cardinals)
160 - Vince Coleman (Cardinals)
88 - Bob Tewksbury (Cardinals)
75 - Jack Morris (Tigers)
41 - Ken Dayley (Cardinals)
Curious if any "corrected" versions come only from factory sets. Or if some were never corrected?

#743 - Bryn Smith
#725 - Ron Gant
#684 - Milt Cuyler

#533 - Odibe McDowell
#498 - Mark Salas
#383 Pete Smith

#88 - Bob Tewkesbury
#75 - Jack Morris
I also have #693 Francisco Cabrera and #519 Sparky Anderson with very faint marks
