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.
Great pick ups, I had a friend that took a couple years to come across the Golden with the print spot in the perfect spot to make the 8 look like a 3.
