Thank you Todd

What surprised me the most regarding this group of PX7 Domino Discs was how pristine some of the discs rims were. Don't recall ever seeing ones that shiny before. I pick them up from time to time, but at much lower prices then this group was selling for in David's recent auction.

Hi Todd,

I agree with you that the (what I refer to as Type 2 discs - usually smaller head and crisper image) are more difficult to find. Although I have picked up around 10 +/- this year, my set is kind of on the back burner for now as my collecting interests seem to change all the time. I won’t mention what I’ve recently been collecting, let’s just say I’m diversifying my portfolio

I did pick up a rare 2 player disc earlier this year, but my attempts to pick up a nice miscut have come in vain.

In case you’re interested, here’s a link to my discs.

Also Todd,

Over the years I had been trying to capture images for each disc known. I haven't really done so for the last few years, but for a few players, I thought that there might possibly be 3 poses. After a recent pickup on the BST on McIntyre, I'm still not sure, but I'm leaning towards no. What do you think?

Thanks Mike, I will make good use of your scans. As of about ten days ago I decided to start cataloging all combinations, so I’m hoping people will provide me with scans. I’m even trying to list all front-back numeric combinations, so any scans of both sides would be great. I forgot to mention to those unfamiliar with these disks that color wise, fronts and backs are the same for red, green and blue examples, but those with a Brown/Purple front never have that color on the back; instead, they can have any of the other three colors. Even more of a challenge for the “Master set” collector, as one player can have a brown front with different color backs.

I agree that the McIntyre disks you showed do not reflect three different poses. As sometimes happens with these and as you know, the images can be out of register a little and give the appearance that a face is looking a bit different. Your McIntyre shows a silhouette outline where the image was intended, and I think if it hit the mark it would match up with your other one.

I agree that two poses exist for all subjects, although I have noticed a subtle difference in some thin-faced Cobbs. By the way for those who did not know, the set registry and many collections consider the Cobb to have a variation because it comes with or without a “D” on his cap. This is not one of the seven variations I referenced earlier. The two Cobbs do in fact have different cap appearances, but this can be said of many other player disks too. Basically, the difference in the two Cobbs is that one has the fuller face than the other, just as is true of nearly all the other subjects. It is simply easier to note the cap emblem or lack of same in case you only have one disk at hand and are unsure how “full” his face looks. Again, however, the same can be said for several others in the set; so if you have, say, the Rowan “no C on cap” disk, you merely have the thin face version, rather than some newly discovered variation.

Todd, I've had these 4 PX7 Domino Discs of WaJo for many years, blindly assuming all along that I had a master set of WaJo's discs, until I just read the fascinating info you posted in this thread. Now, is my understanding correct that master set of WaJo's discs is 12 discs - 6 full face & 6 thin face, with each of the 6 consisting of these front/back color combinations: red/red, green/green, blue/blue, brown/red, brown/green & brown/blue - if one doesn't include the different domino combinations on the backs of the discs?

Hi Val, hope you're well. You're right about the full-face having six variations (excluding numeric domino combos), but brown fronts are only found on the full-face poses. Thus there are only three thin-face variations: green/green; red/red and blue/blue, for a total of nine. Nice disks BTW.
