I rarely if ever visit a town that has a card shop and have time to visit it. This weekend was different though, and I had some free time while on a short vacation. Anyway, this shop had 400-500 cards from each year of the 60s in mainly collector grade shape. I went through the 68s and found 7 MB cards including the Seaver and also through the 67s and found the 2 cards sans the more typical traded statements. However, having never seen the 61 Jim Golden variation, I was pleasantly surprised when I found one. A few pages later in the 61s binder, and out of place, a second Golden card appeared, and yes, it too was the 293 print defect variation. Minus the modestly priced Seaver, all of these other variations were had for the price of inexpensive commons.
