The 00 on the back is unpainted. The guy on left is also unusual. Also, green painted base (like the white square base) with the color base (orange) head but the body matches the green round base series (the ball and glove are different than the other two). My new guy makes 43 total 1960's SF Giants nodders, between the color base, white base, green base, Willie Mays and mini's.
As I said, the new guy wasn't cheap. I had seen a picture of this one (quite possibly the same doll) maybe 15 years ago. It hadn't arrived in 8 days and I asked the seller if it had shipped. He said "yes and it shows delivered 3/24 in Las Vegas." Ruh roh! I haven't lived in Vegas since 2010. Thank goodness I had the phone number of the woman who bought our Vegas house and thank goodness she still lives there. I got a hold of her and she shipped it to me. Note to self: keep address current for auction houses.

Wow nice pickup! I didn't know there were so many variations from the 60's alone!
