W580 Checklist

[wake.up.the.echoes]

Thanks, Murr. I guess I am just obsessed with finding out how many cards are in this set. Any guesses on your part? I am certain there are more cards in the set than are listed in the PSA set registry (52), because I own at least one that isn't listed there (Bill Brennan). Then again, there are a couple listed on the registry (Jack Renault comes to mind) that I have neither seen in-person, nor seen an image of on the internet. Granted, I really haven't been looking that long. If you happen across that Renault, let me know. I think I am going to start collecting images from this set, and then add them to my checklist.

Again, anything that anyone wants to add would be greatly appreciated.

I can OFFICIALLY confirm the existence of Bill Brennan, as I now have one in hand. I'll have to send it in to PSA to have them grade it before they will add it to the registry. (For, as we all know, it doesn't exist until PSA has graded an example. haha.)

There is a W590 Renault; I'm hoping I didn't confuse the 2 and mark them in both checklists...

Adam,

I was reading through your "America's Great Boxing Cards: 2010-2011" and I didn't see a Renault checklisted in either w580 or w590. In compiling my preliminary checklist, I added Renault to the w580 checklist because of the information provided by PSA in their set registry, although none of the registrants has registered one in their set (myself included). Do you have an image of the w590 Renault? Also, did you submit the original checklist to PSA? I ask because I was wondering how it got added to PSA in the first place, as no one seems to have one. Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

(Just a thought: I don't have access to a population report, so perhaps PSA has graded one, just not for anyone who has registered their set? Just speculating here.)

Here is Monsieur Renault. Definitely a W590. I would not be surprised if PSA had W590 and slabbed it a W580.



How PSA gets their checklists is beyond me. I know they purchased my book, they just do't seen to use it.

Great image, Adam! Thanks for posting.

Nothing that PSA does surprises me, but at least they made the effort and bought your book.

Your book is a fine resource, by the way (in case anyone reading this forum has not yet made the purchase, you most certainly should).

I love expanding checklists--that's the fun part of the gig...
