Default '68

Larry,

Where's the sheet? Would love to view! If it's with the silver background I don't think I've ever seen a Brooks w/complete color.

I wonder if in the long run it is worth more cut up than as is given it's condition. Over the years I have had several offers for individual Discs on my 67 sheet. Although mine is an unfinished proof while this looks to be finished ....and folded

a lot of us need a bunch of the 68 only discs especially and they would get decent bids

I have only 9 of the 68 Discs, in various conditions and stages of production. A real mishmash.

If there are any Bob Veal, Yaz or F Robinson master collectors out there that crease must be really distressing :-)

Default '68 Disc Sheet

In my view it's definitely worth the initial bid if it's going to ultimately be cut. I'm sure most collectors "need" a full color '68 Test Disc and there are quite a few that look great. Even the others that aren't so great I'm sure there are collectors out there that would pay for the ones they need.

Al - I thought your '67 sheet was full color, no?

I didn't notice that your '67 Disc sheet didn't have some of the names listed. Still looks awesome!

In looking super carefully at both Clemente's, There is a tiny positioning difference of the letters - most easily seen at the bottom right of the "M" in Clemente - 1967 - it is on the black line in his uniform, 1968 it is ever so slightly above it. Also look at the last bottom of the last "E" in Clemente - 1967 - not touching edge of uniform, 1968 - touching edge of uniform
