Fred,
Thanks so much so sharing; it's always great to see part of an unadulterated vintage collection assembled by the original owner.

Yes, those print lines really seem to affect a lot of the '51s. As far as PSA grading goes, you can get away with a small print line for a nm-mt 8, but all other aspects better be close to top-notch.

It's interesting to see the line on the side of the Wildung (it was on the right side of the printing sheet covering numbers 109-144). I have a Hugh Taylor the has a red line visible on one side.

It looks like you've got a nice Barney Poole card; kind of condition-sensitive since it was a corner card on the first printing sheet.

I'd like to see some of your high numbers, especially the last nine cards of the set!

Thanks again,
Guy
