I forgot that I had the Boudreau in another place, so here it is. 3 more to go.

I have a handful of 1943 M.P. & Co Joe DiMaggios and I am trying to figure out the different variations. It seems like the 1949s might either be the numbered versions or the light colored sky versions. I have a variation with teal font type on the back. The only other one I have seen was a previously posted Bob Feller. Also, the version with the player's position (without team name) has a variation with "Made in the USA" and one without. Anyone know anything about these?

Something well known to collectors of the R302-1 (1943) and R302-2 (1949) sets is that all 24 images from 1943 were recycled to generate the 1949 set.

I just posted an article to the SABR blog that shows you each of the "twins" side by side for the entire set and also provides some bonus background info on the issuer of the sets. Part scholarly, part silly, like most of my stuff, but you may enjoy it.

Hi Ron (rgpete)

Great looking Ted Williams card.

Ted's middle name is incorrect on his 1943 M. P. & Co. card.
It should be Samuel. Was it corrected on his 1949 card ?
