Can't be Richardson or Moeller or yanks RS

Pretty certain it can't be Friend with that artificial deep blue behind him - looks like a primitive cut and paste job - must have been some busy or objectionable activity behind him.

Is this Wood under the Checklist?

[deweyinthehall]

I think so - the small patch of lighter coloring near the top right is the giveaway, I think.

[Kevvyg1026]

I think so, as well

You're right. I found the original photo Topps used on the Bob Friend card, and I agree, the background seems to be waaaaaay too busy...

Oh, the humanity

[Cliff Bowman]

After looking at blown up scans of the Carreon miscut and comparing it to Steve Hamilton I agree that it is Steve Hamilton under Carreon and Carreon is a right edge card. Next I will have to re-examine the Edwards miscut and see if it is Carreon, I think I originally figured it was the only Oriole/Astro possible from the 6th Series.

Unless that is a color different than the lime green of the Astros and the Orioles it has to be Carreon, no other Astro or Oriole in the 6th Series is anywhere close to the sliver of the card under Edwards.

The only other color it could conceivably be is gray amd no Indians or Phillies match.

I think it is Carreon - by the time you move from the right edge to the left limit of the green banner the space is barely wider than the black border line. By the time you reach the left edge it is no wider. I think you can see some enough lighter patches in between to make the rest of the anomaly the result of the fuzziness of the imahe.

Does this make any sense?
