For Henry Yee, or anyone else: 5 Ultra rare Cards

Brian,

You're right. They are the same cards. They are from the second row of cards from the Mastro sheet. Why:

Cy Young - Compare the 2 little rips in the top of the Cy Young card to the picture in the Mastro catalog. They look mighty similar, I say the same.

Criger - The Mastro example in the second row has a crease in the right edge, white is showing, right at the point where the ribbon curves around. Amazingly, so does this one. There is also a spot of wear in the bottom edge that is directly down from the blue area in the shoe near the lower left that matches this one on eBay. Also compare the wear and appearance of the bottom, right corner area of this card. They match. Start at the lower right corner: Note how an area in the background near the edge is washed out a bit as you go up the right edge IN BOTH CARDS and the dirt wear along the bottom gets thinner as you follow along the bottom edge IN BOTH CARDS.

Coincidence?

I can only assume the other 3 players are from the same row. Bottom line - that uncut sheet doesn't exist anymore. Da** it, greed claims ANOTHER really beautiful uncut sheet.
