This is the card that I just recently picked up that started me on the conversation about resurrecting the Vintage Baseball Card Catalog.

Dave Nelson, as I initially thought was only printed in the pink version. Val K. was gracious and I purchased the pink one from him. I had been conversing with Val regarding the Yellow D. Nelson I had found and purchased and he verified to me the other day that there is also a Yellow version of the 1970 Senators D. Nelson.

I found one and that is attached here. (I bought it on a flier thinking that I may end up getting snookered by the purchase. Which, seems to not be the case.). The Yellow Nelson matches perfectly with the other cards I have in my collection.

The comment in the catalog write up below states that there is only a pink version of Dave Nelson. Well, this is not the case as there is a first series of yellow printed 1970 Senators D.C. Traffic Safety cards that does have D. Nelson depicted.

The second series printing of the 1970 Senators D.C. Traffic Safety cards shows A. Rodriguez replacing the D. Nelson card.

I'm also of the opinion that the D. Nelson Yellow would be considered more 'rare' than the pink one. And I believe I am not the only one thinking this.

NOTE: I would expect that there are many here that already know a good deal of this information. This is just me becoming aware of this and sharing what I have found out.

Cheers,

Butch T.

Hattip to Val K. for this information to me. Which has now set me onto getting the uncut versions of these as well as the rest of the pink printed players.

Other than the D. Nelson card that I received from Val, I have never even seen any of the other 9 players printed in pink except in pictures.
