You and me both, I found it by noticing my copy had a weird mark. I love when this happens with a cheap common!


1955 has been my set of the week, trying to clean up my personal checklist for it. Such a great design. The two stocks (white vs. cream, and the cream is coarser to the touch. Difficult to tell apart in scans, but much easier in hand) for the first series/sheet cards really complicate the 'known' variations/RPD's/whatever-people-want-to-call-them. My copy of #2 Ted Williams that I've had for a long time is thankfully the no dots in signature variation, with a white back. Does anyone have this variation with the cream stock? I'm not certain all the variations affect both stocks, and pedantically cataloguing them might provide production clues as to whether they were done simultaneously or if they represent 2 distinct print runs of the first 'series'.

Carey, Sullivan, Terwilliger, Conley, Grim, Jackie, Moon et al. I'm also working on.
