Thanks for the all that info.

1st....I'll answer your last question....you are very knowlegable on this set; and, you are aware that cards whose #s are....#1
and all others that are (divisible by 9 + 1) are tough to find in decent shape. So, #1 Van Brocklin, #10 Bednarik, #19 Connor,
and #28 Kyle Rote are not on my sheet, since Bowman had to shift the cardboard sheet to the right as they printed. They had
to do this in order to print the cards in the rightmost column (#s divisible by 9). In their early press runs the printing track in
their press was unable to accomodate a complete (large) 36-card sheet.

2nd.....To provide you an answer to your experience regarding getting better cut cards in the 2nd series (#73-144), I have to
ask you where you lived as a kid collecting these 52 B's ? And, do you recall how early or late in the Fall of '52 you were acquir-
ing them ?

Thanks,

TED Z
