Still looks better than a lot of drivers license pictures people have.

[LincolnVT]

I love the color schemes in this set. Beautiful.

[bobsbbcards]

Wow, look at the time! It's 12:01am!

[irv]

My Leo to start today off.

[ALR-bishop]

Leo has 3 cards on the H&S Super list....orange or beige backgrounds. I have not found a compelling difference, maybe someone else has

[jayshum]

Looks like I have the orange background.

[LincolnVT]

My Loe.

[tedzan]

Currently, in Easternmost Maine (Atlantic Standard Time) it's Monday here; therefore, I'll start this day with Ray Boone (#55).

My 2 Ray Boone's. The GAI slab is scratched, deep.

[LincolnVT]

Here is my Boone. Sorry for the glare on the picture.

[jayshum]

My Boones

[LincolnVT]

I've got to admit, I love getting up and looking at all of your cards everyday! Thanks for your posts everyone.

[ALR-bishop]

The H&S Super set lists 4 Boones, 2 reds and 2 blacks. Top 2 are blacks and bottom 2 are reds

The difference between the black backs is a lot easier to see than the difference between the red backs. For the red backs, the most notable difference seems to be the color of Boone's face not the background. Is there a more noticeable difference in the background between the red backs in hand?

[ALR-bishop]

The checklist for black backs indicates dark olive and light green. For red it is light olive and dark olive.

[Gorditadogg]

My Boone black back- the green one.

[irv]

Tommy Glaviano red back.

[LincolnVT]

My Tommy...

[ALR-bishop]

Tommy has two versions but they involve both front and back. In addition to a red or black back he can have a yellow or white team logo which in all cases coincides with the same back color....BB = white

This is a great thread, I enjoy the cards and the comments. For me it is a daily lesson on the 52T Master Set.

[jayshum]

I never noticed the difference with the team logo color on the Glavianos before.

Neither have I. Thanks, Mr. Al!

[LincolnVT]

Freshly shaven / 5 o'clock shadow! Haha...

My Ed. Sorry about the glare.

[jayshum]

Lopat

[irv]

And my Mr. Ed Lopat with a dot/splotch of red ink beneath his right eye. I have noticed this only on a few Lopat's but I see it is not mentioned on the master 52 Topps list that Al provided.

Here is my Ed Lopat red back in its former SGC case. It has been cracked out and sent to PSA in the hope of it getting a 6 from them.

Bob Mahoney.

My Mahoney.

Here is mine:

Robin Roberts for Friday.

[LincolnVT]

My copy. Happy Friday all.

[jayshum]

One of the best pitchers in Phillies history, but considering their history, that isn't saying much, unfortunately.

[bobsbbcards]

[Gorditadogg]

My Mahoney, submitted under the 24-hour rule.

[irv]

Sid Hudson.

[ALR-bishop]

Wait...there are rules ? :-)

I've been amazed we made it this far with everyone following the "rules". Only 347 more days to go.

[LincolnVT]

My copy.

[ALR-bishop]

Rules should always have some flexibility. I kind of like the 24 hour rule. Does it start at midnight ? Does it matter what time zone applies or if we are in standard or daylight savings time ?

It would be really sad if you had a card you really wanted to post and waited patiently....and then got distracted by life beyond cards. Maybe you could apply for a out of time posting waiver

[LincolnVT]

Life beyond cards?
