That is so cool! And yes, I'm a variation junkie. Probably as a bi-product of my other hobby (stamp collecting), so I guess I just opened up a big ol' can of worms for myself. I think it's also a certain amount of OCD for me to to be "complete" with things, such as jigsaw puzzles (another pastime for me).

I have noticed that some cards are over saturated with blues, and some cards have a more natural coloring. I thought maybe it was poor Quality control, but the box color makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the great information!

Just drop me a note with your address and I'll pop it in the mail to you.

Good Luck With Your Collecting!!

That's very kind of you. Thanks!
It was actually going to be my next inquiry if such a reference existed.

Message sent. Actually, I PM'd you as well, before I sent the email.

I do have another question.

I've recently been taking notice of uncut panels being offered here and there and see that, at least for the ones I've looked at, there is a white space, or "gutter", around the cards which made it possible to cut them nicely and leave a full black line framing the card.

This sad Bill Kilmer card has blue on the outside of the black line on 3 sides. It's the only one I have that doesn't have white. I also notice it is thinner, like the Unitas. Another tray card?

Thanks for all the great info Kirk. The 2010 Standard Catalog makes no reference to any of this stuff So I have just spent the last half hour thumbing through my cards and found this one. #37 Sonny Jurgensen (on thin stock). Now I know it was cut from a 1oz. Alpha-bits single serving box. Great stuff Kirk!

That's why I love this board! Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and insight on the Post set Kirk! ...and I'm happy for you Richard that your Unitas is legit like we thought.
