Btw I was talking about the baseball set. Will post pics.

You can see how white that Radatz is compared to the others. Same with the Swoboda. Definitely different card stock.

Baseball - The semi-high series has the most obvious white vs. cream stock difference on all the cards, with series 1 also pretty clear. The series between also have multiple stocks but they can be hard to tell apart. I have only built the semi-highs both ways because that one you can easily tell from a picture or scan when buying. I don't think the highs have multiple stocks, only 1.

Football - One series both ways.

Thanks for confirming, Greg. That’s dedication getting both backs.

Can't speak to the 1966's as I don't do that year, but I can assure you the 1968 FB has the two different stock colors. Drives me crazy, I much prefer the white back stock. NO, not doing two sets

But 68 football is so fun! I did a cream stock and a white stock set, still need like 5 cards for my white set. The white looks much better and I greatly prefer in every set as it really makes the text ‘pop’ and be easier read. I think there actually at least 3 different stocks with the really light cream and the dark cream. And most all the cards can be found with a blue tint where a thin layer of blue ink is layered over pretty much the entire picture.

67 also has 2 stocks, though they are not easy to tell apart online (MB’s being a 3rd stock) and I don’t think anyone collects both. 65 and 70 might have 2 stocks as well. 60/61/62/63/64/69/71/72 I believe only have one stock.
