That's awesome news and great information, thanks!
I do have other questions about the set. Since I've been looking on ebay at other Unitas cards for comparison, I started to look at the cards in the set in general and have started to see "differences" in printing (variations?) on most cards. Here is an example (scans borrowed) @ cards of Ed Khayat, from the Eagles. At first glance they are just the same card, until you start to study and compare the pictures. The card on top has the photo section "shifted" slightly upward leaving a smaller gap between the tower in the background and the upper border of the photo, compared to the card on the bottom. There is more grass showing between his shoes and the bottom border of the picture as well. But the ting that intrigues me the most is the 2 white flagpoles you can see in the bottom card, on the building behind the player (I'm assuming this may be part of Municipal Stadium?) have been removed from the top card. I see this same phenomenon on a majority of the Eagles cards as well. Do you know if there were multuiple printings of these? Maybe using different plates/screens? maybe printed in 2 different locations? I've seen subtle differences like these in a majority of the cards I look at from this set. |

That is so cool! And yes, I'm a variation junkie. Probably as a bi-product of my other hobby (stamp collecting), so I guess I just opened up a big ol' can of worms for myself. I think it's also a certain amount of OCD for me to to be "complete" with things, such as jigsaw puzzles (another pastime for me).
I have noticed that some cards are over saturated with blues, and some cards have a more natural coloring. I thought maybe it was poor Quality control, but the box color makes perfect sense. Thanks for the great information! |

It was actually going to be my next inquiry if such a reference existed. Message sent. Actually, I PM'd you as well, before I sent the email. |

Very cool booklet! Was this an insert in boxes of cereal that the cards were on?

I don't have anything to add; I just wanted to thank you guys for a fascinating thread. I had no idea about all of the variations, but it's no surprise at all that Kirk is the expert. Like Jeff, I think I'll dig out my set and look at them more closely.
Post had CFL issues in 1962 and 1963, also. I've sometimes wondered why they did a CFL set in 1963, but not an NFL set.

In regard to the different variations, and me being primarily a Dallas Cowboys vintage collector, I noticed a variation in the Glynn Gregory photo. There is a version of that card that shows more of the antenna tower on the right. Never thought much about it, and never knew there were a ton of other variations in the set. Thanks again for your insight! |

Great stuff Kirk! Thanks for posting. By the way, it looks like that '60 Unitas is still on the box! That's a tough one in itself, much less being the complete box.
