Yes, David... MoST Excellent Thread!

And "THaNK You" fir PostiN Your 2006 Thread Ted ~

Here's the 2013 Follow uP Thread:

The Timely Personal Experience'd Work
Towards putting this Wonderful "Little Monster" Tagether
iS an Adventure in itself!
I'm Very Grateful to All of the Members who have taken the time to Contribute!!!

These Days, Between BeiN able ta Reference Pop Reports & Just about Every Tuffie BeiN Tuffer...
My Take is it's Because MoST E90-1 Collectors are HoldiN their Sets & or Individual Cards within their Collections...

FindiN a Center'd Mr. Duffy or a "Red Sunset" Mr. Miller
iS Virtually Impossible... Let alone a Mr. Leach Center'd "Throwing"

I'll Admit THaT I'm Not a Set Collector!
I MoSTLy Collect Mr. Mathewson, McGraw, Walsh & Type Cards...

So WheN I Started out about 6 years ago ta put the E90-1 Set tagether
I figured 1's & 2's would be Grand...
THaN my Somewhat Perfectionism kick'd iN!!!

What was a possible task at the time,
Turn'd inta a Life Long Event!

No Creases, No Papar Loss, Center'd
& the Best Resolution/Registration
Became my Goal!
Heck, I EVeN Grew ta Like "Spot oN" Trimmed Cards

So... While PuttiN THiS Set tagether, I've Become Very Picky!
I figure If I'm Gonna Pay 2-3k fir Mr. Wagner Mclean or Shean
Than I want a "Solid 3 or 4"

"Dankz AGaiN Fir ALL oF Your Efforts Gentleman!!!"

I plan to be at the National at least on Friday, and for the dinner Friday night. Hopefully I'll see you there. Will you have a table with Mark Macrae again?

Don't think it is a proof, Denny. I think it's printer's marks. A proof would generally be a little unfinished (blank back and not factory cut too). Quite a few E90s have those marks but they aren't as substantial as the ones on yours. Very cool.....

Agree....not a proof.....just printers color alignment marks. These are found along the bottom of a good portion of E90-1 Young Boston cards.
