I picked up the proofs from a collector years ago that used to collect Brooks Robinson items then changed directions in his collecting interests. I believe the proofs that I have are just not deckled, just straight edge versions w/the backs the same as the regular issued cards. Likely just cut from a sheet so I guess they could be called proofs.

Just finished the 69 set. Should have the 2 SP cards in the mail Tuesday or Wednesday.

Jerry,

Those are some very nice looking deckles. I especially like the Brooksie; looks great

Great thread,

Here is my one and only graded Deckle a 74 Bench. Absolutely fell in love with this set once I got this card in hand.

Ralph,

Nice cards. I wasn't aware that these were printed on 3 types of cardboard (white (proof), cream (proof) and gray (production)). Interesting. We've seen this recurring theme of using 3 types of cardboard as test products in other notable sets though.
