Repeats are fine, especially with nice pics like those. :)

Pat really is doing an amazing job with this. Especially extending it to matching up a flaw from the front, which really nails down those two being side by side.

The other thing about multiple scans is that eventually it might be possible to narrow down one group as being done after another group depending on how much of the scratch shows. Less might indicate wear to the plate, or a light resurfacing after wear. (A deep scratch on a stone might survive a light resurfacing, and there's a couple scans I have that I think show the scratches surviving into the 350 series. )

Another Willis

This Brown (Port) is a new scratch and is a match with Burch (Batting).

It's on this plate scratch sheet that had two different sets of fronts printed on it.

Excellent! Looking forward to this next sheet advancing.....very interesting.

I love this thread. Thanks Pat (and everyone who has contributed)!

OK Pat, got some more for ya. Let me know if one of these is a new piece!

I'm famous! That's my Neal Ball up on Ebay right now, didn't think to post it.

Hi Bryan,

I do have all of those but thank you for posting them.

There are five different Neal Ball scratches and two of them have similar
but different scratches. The Ball in your post is one of them (This one on the right).

Scott, I hope that you aren't upset that I posted a picture of one of your Balls. :D

Pat, I am enjoying the hunt for these. How many are missing from your sheet and which players do you think they will likely be?

Hi Bryan,

There a still a lot of scratches that I'm searching for but here are a few....
I'm looking for a Crawford for this sheet.

I'm also looking for the matches to these scratches on the A-B sheet.

The matches to these three (Conroy, Gibson, And Hinchman) should come from the SC factory 649 subjects.

And the match to O'Leary should be a non-649 subject.
