I think it is #590 Bill Skowron under Queen. Can you do a mash up of the miscut Queen and a 66 Skowron from Greg Morris Cards to see if it's a match?

i think your right. how about the right edge of #569?

I think it's a swing and a miss, unfortunately...

Dagnabbit. I need a mulligan. Dave Nicholson? ETA, on the other two candidates, Cuellar and Mahaffey, the stat lines don't extend far enough. If Nicholson checks out then Bob Allen and the Checklist can be inserted on the bottom row as the last two cards.

Queen could be in row B (Perranowski) and be above 598 (Perry), 569 (McFarlane), 570 (Mahaffey), 576 (Nicholson) as well as one, as yet unidentified card.

It could also be in row G (Shirley) and be above two, as yet unidentified cards (so 532 is still a possibility, as is Cuellar, Allen, Skowron).

And, it is also possible that Queen is in row C (Hoerner) and could be above Sullivan.

Cliff-- i believe you have it right on Nicholson !!!

The matching black blip(s) above "Throws" (which are even more apparent in other Nicholsons I looked at on eBay) and the extended 'year' line (not to mention the matching size of the salmon colored box) are good indicators that DING! DING! DING! we gotta winnah...

All Skowron cards have a stray line from the artwork that goes outside the box. There appears to be a matching stray line on the McFarlane scan but I don't think the scan is good enough to confirm. Maybe JollyElm can do a mashup of the McFarlane miscut and a Greg Morris Skowron card to see if they line up? It would be best for someone to win the McFarlane card and then put it next to a Skowron card and see if it lines up.

This miscut of 552 is currently on ebay. Just a hint of the orange back of a card can be discerned. To me, it matched 566 Cuellar, and if true, then that would put 566 in the spot between McFarlane & Mahaffey, with 532 above McFarlane & 552 above Cuellar. However, my graphics ability is limited, so this would need someone to confirm.

Since the rest of the black is thick and rich, I think the 'Skowron Blip' on the McFarlane card is just an unrelated gray area, or toning or something, so I don't believe it to be a match...

How funny is it that on the back of Moose's card, although he won multiple championships during more than a decade in the majors, the highlight they chose to include harkened all the way back to his minor league days??

JollyElm is right, it�s a stain or a blemish on the McFarlane miscut in almost the exact spot where the stray line is on the Skowron. That means it has to be Cuellar or Gonder but I don�t see any irregularities that would pinpoint a certain card.

Check out the Tebbetts miscut on ebay (shown in post 424). Tebbetts must be above either an unidentified card (528, 566, or 590) or above Mahaffey (570). If Tebbetts is above Cuellar, then that would put 532, Monteaugue, above McFarlane.

A miscut Cuellar is on eBay, maybe someone can figure out which card is below it. It's not Gaylord Perry because the two stat lines would be showing. ETA, it can't be John Sullivan either, Sullivan has a distinctive bulge on the upper left corner of his salmon stat box, so that means it has to Orlando McFarlane or Art Mahaffey, I believe.
