Beautiful centering on your sharp looking new Rosen, that is one of the toughest low numbers. The RR is pretty sharp looking too.

Thanks!

I just noticed, looking at Rosen's left side, the Indian looks different to me and there also seems to be spot/portion of the card in that area that didn't see any ink?
The only other cards I own that show that area somewhat are, Lemon and Garcia, and all 3 look different to me? (Posting all 3 pics for easier comparison)

Any thoughts as to why?

Nice pick-up. The Seaver is from 1967 and is his earliest "card". In my opinion, it is much more desireable than his '67 Topps rookie. Me likey

Thanks, it is so much rarer than his Topps rookie, took me me a while to find one.

Some other cool cards; lucked into finding the 1959 Mail-In today for $50, and that will probably go to eBay to pay for my entries into Burl's 1952 Set Break.

Nice Bazooka Seaver, Jim.

It still amazes me how many variations there are in the 1952 Topps set. The Campos card seems to have the most variations. How many will be recognized as a commonly accepted variation is anyone's guess.....

The Lemon and Garcia, at least in the scans, look fairly similar. The logo on the Rosen is different ....not sure if it is due to the Lemon and Garcia being from a different series than the Rosen?

That might have something to do with it, or I was thinking home/away jerseys, maybe?

The Lemon Indian logo almost looks like the Indian is wearing a hat with a feather in it, while the Indian on Garcia's sleeve looks like it has combed hair and is wearing a wide yellow sweat band.

Either way, like you say, they are different than the Rosen Indian for some reason so I am going to have to dig into this further to see what I can come up with?

Didn't really have any luck, other than to say, the one on Garcia's sleeve doesn't look like any that I could find.

The Rosen logo looks faded or it was imposed later maybe as there is something clearly going on there where that pointed section is clearly, imo, not a part of his jersey. From the looking I did, all his copies have this same error/anomaly.

Picked up two more cards for my Aaron run. The first is a really nice 67 Kahns. The second is a 65 OPC #2 Batting Leaders. The OPC was a LOT tougher to find than I thought. This card completes the OPC part of my run.

some of those OPC's are tough to find.

The hardest in my Lou Brock run was the 67 "Cards Clubbers"
