I may go back and look at that but need to process what I did this week first. Something does still seem missing but it looks like you found a new quad? I only have six of those (I think). One of the quads is a traded player so it skews the numbers I think but I am fried right now but an additonal quad (7) would make sense.

HI Dave,

Incredible work. I haven't digested it yet, have to go back for a second run through. Not sure if I missed this, but I believe I have stargell with a stadium background and plain background - can double check and let you know.

[hcv123]

Sorry, both plain background.

I have this set and the captain poses. Most of it is ungraded, by choice. But in collecting the set I have acquired some graded cards and seen several. I have also had and seen several uncut 3 card panels. You can separate the panels by bending them until they separate or cut them.

On a 3 card panel the top and bottom card should have a straight top ot bottom border, but the middle card will have 2 uneven borders and the top and bottom one uneven border. Even if the cards are cut instead of bent to separate them you should see the perforations at at least one end, or on both ends of middle cards. Yet I have seen many highly graded cards with straight ends on the top and the bottom, which can only occur if the serated perforated edges are trimmed off

Is this a case where trimming a card from it natural state is acceptable ? I am not a graded guy so am just curious as to what folks think,,,.especially Larry S

of the grading companies not always knowing what they are looking at. For the educated collector it is almost laughable (as well as good justification against grading or for trimming in some cases :-))

I am thinking straight edged cards could have come from the wax packs? Can's say for sure but it seems possible since they were issued as singles in those I believe.

None of the people who get paid for their opinions care about anything except getting paid for their opinions.

The proof of this is illustrated in the numerous ways that they do differentiate things that they shouldn't (1967 Topps punchouts and stickers which were released as panels) and don't differentiate things that they should (T206 back variations).

The fact that they do differentiate back variations on T206s now, after not doing so for many years only adds to their own bottom line, which also adds to my point.

Larry-were the wax pack cards just separated from the panels then?
