Looks like I have a lot more to pick up!

I've noticed a lot of the Ray Moore cards have a big dot on his forehead.

Good one Scott. Fairly common recurring print defect

Wow. A guy could spend a lot of time just collecting all of the printing variations. So whats the story of the totally different background color for the Kubek and Martin, I believe?

Thanks for sharing all of those cards Al. Is this one of your favorite sets?

Least favorite of the 50s sets. But an interesting one

If you want to be really serious about it, there's a contest card with a June 30 deadline and one with a July 8 deadline. I think the cards are the same otherwise. I recently completed this set with the felt emblem card and a June 30 contest card. So far I have resisted the temptation to pick up a July 8 card as well.

My problem is that I'm a completist! If everyone would kindly stop informing me about additional variations I might be able to finish the set.

Given that Scott, avoid wandering into the never ending variations thread in here ��

I think both those dates appear on all the contest cards, one is the entry deadline ( June 30) and the other is the date of the All Star Game ( July 8)---right ?
