There are at least 3 versions of this card...normal and either small or big upper left front border irregularity. Apparently the small defect version did not prevent Bob's Sandlock from getting an 8

I don't think the Sandlock I posted would be getting an 8 even without the defect.

Nice cards, guys!
I see Bob is still hitting it out of the park.

Just a teaser here. Don't mean to hijack the thread this close to the end, but wondered what someone might think of this effort. It is far from an exact replica, in fact, it contains several obvious flaws and one very intentional tell to distinguish it from a real card. I'm thinking about posting all six to eight of the "missing high numbers" in another thread for anyone's dining and dancing pleasure.

I don't have any of the missing cards (I thought there were 6 so not sure why you say all 6 to 8) so I'm just going to go ahead with the next number that was issued in the set.

Steve---I do not care if you post the "missing" cards here or in another thread but would like to see them. Are they your creations ?

Al - Yes, my creations - no claims to actual artistry, just labors of love. I guess I will post them in proper numerical order here, so the next would be #261. I have a few already completed, but still working on some others. In answer to someone else's question, there were just six missing numbers, so maybe I will stick with that, but there were additional original paintings of some players, so if I feel energetic, maybe there will be a thread with numbers 281 to whatever. Also, I have not felt the need to produce any actual cards from the images. That might be a tad beyond my reproduction capability.
