I recently picked up three 67 Maris'. I have been chasing the Yankees proof ever since I've seen it about 20 years ago. I have never seen one in person so to finally own one is pretty cool. I figured since I got it, I might as well find a regular version. Then I traded for the autographed one at a card show this past weekend.

Had wanted this exact specimen for a couple years now. Love the square top cut; the overwhelming majority of those I've seen have a sloping top cut yet this one's nice and square-- just hits the eye right. For example, I saw a 6 in Heritage this month that had a really bad top cut. Made me want to circle back to this one...

Default Maris Proof

Jason---congrats on the Maris proof. I picked mine up sometime back. I then read an SCD series of 5 articles on proofs by Olbermann in which he speculates that the Maris proof may have been an intentional Topps creation. I think he based that on the relatively large numbers of these proofs that exist as compared to really rare Topps proofs like the 1960 Cimoli/Handley/Throneberry, or the Jackson 1977 as an Oriole and related proofs from that year. I think all 5 parts can be found on line. Here is the one that talks about the Maris

Thanks Al. Have you ever seen a 77 Jackson proof offered before? That would be an interesting card to have.

Another 1964 Topps Stand-Up (a tough SP, no less) and for any of you who know the struggle of chasing a high grade 1972 Topps set, I present you with two of the absolutely toughest (I'm talking ridiculously impossible!) 'In Action' cards to find decently centered...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
