Funny you would mention him, Carl. I have this set complete 3 ways, and I am 2 cards short of finishing it a 4th way. I have it done in gray backs and in cut, undeckled proof form. I also have the entire set on two proof sheets. But I am 2 cards short of finishing it in white backs, and Fisk is one of the two that I still need. But, I do have 3 of him

AH...that's three more than I've got. I think Probstein or PWCC had one on auction a month or two back, but it got too rich for me. I'll track one down one of these days.. Those proof sheets you have there are stunning, by the way. That's a magnificent collectible!

There is also the Canadian (O-pee-chee) version of the 1969 Deckle set. Fewer cards (24), black facsimile autographs and blank backs. Slightly larger card and different deckle cut resulting in sharp (or not so) corners. Fewer commons, more of the stars, but no Rose or Wilhelm. The front and sometimes the back are cursed with a horizontal scratch from the packaging process where some type of machinery grabbed the card or sheet to pull the card to the next step in the process. I found a bunch of nice ones several years ago at the National and had them graded. Got the first PSA 9 of Mays and sold it for $500 in lightning quick fashion.
