Thanks for the info, Al. I didn't know I had a variation. :)

HOF'r, Early Wynn for today.

My Mr. Clark for today.

Cloyd Boyer for today.

The red streak is recurring but Cloyd is not in the H&S Super set

It looks like Dale's card has the red streak, but it is almost cut off. I guess it is more noticeable on cards which don't have good T/B centering.

Right, Jay. I think Dale and I both posted Cloyd earlier in the never ending variations thread a long time back

Dale---your Lopat with the red dot is a red back, right ?. My red back also has such a dot, but I see the one Bob posted does not. So you have added one to the H&S list :). Now, do I need a red back without the dot ? :(

I remember discussing that, Al.

Speaking of variations. When does my prize arrive for adding Lopat to the H&S list?
If someone needs to know, tell them I'll settle for a 52 Topps Mathews, Campy or Wilhelm. :D

Dale---you have one of the Super set recurring print defects. Jay too

Thanks for letting me know, Al.

I find it odd, however, that Masi is part of the H&S set yet Boyer isn't?
Is there any rhyme or reason why some are and others not?

Yes. Whoever built the Super set did not have one 😎

Excuse my ignorance and inexperience, Al, but who actually decided/concluded the cards currently in the SS as the final cards, or is it technically still open?

Just a guess here, but I assume it was guys like yourself, Bob Lemke and other experienced, knowledgeable collectors, through analysis, decided what qualified and what didn't as far as variations go, etc, who agreed what would be included and what wouldn't?
