nice stuff fellas!

Great looking stuff guys. Especially love the Bazooka box! Good luck with the submission.

Here are mine. The Rizzuto is new to my set, while Qualls and Checklist #9 are upgrades that I've been in search of for a long time. So happy to put those to bed.

Dave-- as is the case with every checklist in the 1970 set there are two versions of card 9. In the one you posted the bat stops short of the top border. In the other it goes all the way to the. border.

Nice Rizzuto stg. (first post using my phone, wondering how it turns out?)

Have had a nice couple of mail days... Here is today's haul. Forgot to take pictures of yesterday's even bigger load. It was full of stars and commons from every year from 1950 to 1969. Took most of the day to go through it all and I am still organizing.... The two days equaled 2 '54 Ted Williams #1 and 2 '58 Koufax's. Several of these will be headed to PSA very soon.

My collection is in storage at the moment on account of a move, but I'll have to check which version I already had when I dig it out. I'm not a variation collector so never paid much attention to this, the bat color differences, 'Perranoski' etc. on the other CLs. Is one of the #9 versions significantly more difficult in high grade than the other? All I know is it took me a long time to find a good one of either. Most of my set is raw but I had to pony up for the graded 8 on account of the dearth of clean, centered ungraded.

Dave---on the CLs I think most were DPS and the differences are just cropping or set up differences that exist in fairly equal numbers.... and only weird people like me worry or think about them
