Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Good pickup on the Walsh card, Scott. I bid on that one a bit. Would have bid a bunch more if I'd had faith that that border coloring would have soaked away. Let me know if you bust him out for a soak!

First 2009 Pickup Thread.....
 

Posted By: <b>Brian T.</b><p>They used that Cy Young image several places. Among them are one of the W600 Sporting Life's, Fan Craze, One of the E90-1 (as you said), the M116 Sporting Life card, and I think the artists used that portrait as the basis for the T206 card too. They just changed the uniform to match the proper team.

First 2009 Pickup Thread.....
 

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Okay...now I'm confused. I bought the Alexander as a W516-2-2, but the card number is wrong. The SCD says the W516-1-2 are printed only in black, red and yellow so this can't be from that set, and it can't be from the W516-1 set because it's reversed.<br><br>Any ideas?

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Dan, yours is a W516-1-2 despite what SCD says in the book, the cards are found with other colors in the printing (although less frequently).<br><br>A common misconception with this series is that the reverse images are W516-2's. The checklist (or # on front) is what determines if a card is W516-1 or W516-2.<br><br><b>All W516-1 Alexanders are #9, all W516-2 Alexanders are #2.</b><br><br>Next you determine if regular or reverse image...<br><br><b> Regular image on front with handwritten wording:</b><br>W516-1-1 (not sure why it is only referred to as W516-1 in the SCD--it should have another &quot;-1&quot; at the end)<br><br><b>Reverse images and handwritten wording:</b><br>W516-1-2<br>W516-2-2<br><br><b>Regular images with type-written wording on front:</b><br>W516-2-3<br><br><b>Reverse images with type-written wording on front:</b><br>W516-2-1<br><br>Hope this helps<br>-Rhett
