Congrats Patrick! You forgot something though ... scans!

Knew the W572 collection was huge for you. I like my T205 Cubs/ reverses so this has taken a priority over W572 cards. With Mac's help, this is a win win for both of us and i am greatful to him. Have not completely gotten out of W572 cards but given the opportunity to trade for more of my T205 Cubs/ reverses or T207 Cubs/ reverses, I would do it again. Now have to get the cards slabbed to fit the rest of the collection. Collection is now 134/152 possible cards. Love it.

Congrats Patrick on being the King of the W572 hill. W572's definitely fly under most collector's radar, but are still a neat set that for the most part share the same images also seen in the E120 American Caramel and V61 Neilson's sets.

I have been of the opinion for many years that there are about 10 really tough cards to obtain, which in my mind makes it seem like there was a short print of one of the ten card strips.

By the way, here is an image of a SGC graded W572 Wambsganss.

Awesome! Thanks for posting that Brian!

121 always seemed an odd number for cards sold in strips of 10, so if one is not a W572 in reality, you've now narrowed it down to Duncan, Barbare (which was the last addition to the list) and Rapp.

Cheers,
patrick

Brian Pat and Ken: I apologize for my ignorance regarding this set, but I have a question: Why does Wambsganss appear left-handed on that card. Bill Wambsganss was right-handed.
