One more that is worth posting. Wasn't on my want list because I didn't know it existed until recently.

My ebay bucks were plentiful this past quarter, so below are what some of my bonus funds were redeemed on .. I am now about a third of the way through the Hi#s and 2 short on the 1-310 portion of the set.

Great P/U's, SFMS! Congrats on being so close to completing your set! That must be a great feeling.

These 3 arrived Friday. A big shout out to KCRfan1 (Lou) who not only gave me a great deal, he also absorbed a big hunk of the shipping and threw in this signed Johnny Bench team card for me!

Can't thank you enough, Lou! 2 big cards for me knocked off my want list!

Thank you Irv, while statistically the end is near, I have a long, long ways to go in regards to the cards I am still needing.

Beautiful centering on your sharp looking new Rosen, that is one of the toughest low numbers. The RR is pretty sharp looking too.

Thanks!

I just noticed, looking at Rosen's left side, the Indian looks different to me and there also seems to be spot/portion of the card in that area that didn't see any ink?
The only other cards I own that show that area somewhat are, Lemon and Garcia, and all 3 look different to me? (Posting all 3 pics for easier comparison)

Any thoughts as to why?

Nice pick-up. The Seaver is from 1967 and is his earliest "card". In my opinion, it is much more desireable than his '67 Topps rookie. Me likey

The Lemon and Garcia, at least in the scans, look fairly similar. The logo on the Rosen is different ....not sure if it is due to the Lemon and Garcia being from a different series than the Rosen?

That might have something to do with it, or I was thinking home/away jerseys, maybe?

The Lemon Indian logo almost looks like the Indian is wearing a hat with a feather in it, while the Indian on Garcia's sleeve looks like it has combed hair and is wearing a wide yellow sweat band.

Either way, like you say, they are different than the Rosen Indian for some reason so I am going to have to dig into this further to see what I can come up with?

Terrific piece! It's odd but there are a few OPC tattoos that are insanely tough. For example, I've owned a couple unopened Mantle auto balls but only seen one portrait. You seem to be on fire lately. Congrats!
