I agree it looks like it has to be a solid black space, I just find it hard to believe that, being that, there is no sign of the baseball or Klippstein's name.

I placed the cards next to each other and I think I was able to cut the Klippstein off to where it shows the necessary thickness of black and yet show no hint of lettering - I also think I noticed a couple barely perceptible flaws in the black border that seemed to match, but my eyes could have been playing tricks on me.


So, it's been a while so I thought I'd summarize our progress thus far:

We have the following row sections:

Banks-McDaniel
Coleman-Red Sox Rookies
O'Donoghue-Buchek
Latman-Carreon
Ferrara-Bennett
Hatton-Wyatt
Jimenez-Phillies Team
Radatz-Klippstein-McAuliffe
Green-Linz

We have 9 total, so at least 2 are part of one of the other 7.

In terms of Columns:

#1
Aaron
Nuxhall
Fox
Moeller
Skinner
Gonzalez
Cubs Rookies (despite my earlier posts showing odd colors under an Aaron)

#10:
Buford
Latman
Azcue

#11:
Hamilton
6th Checklist
7th Checklist
Wood
Giants Rookies
Carreon
Edwards

We can identify the partial 10th column because of the Latman/Carreon horizontal pairing.

We have these partial columns linked because of other horizontal pairings:
