The smaller size is interesting... no signs of trimming? Is the text the same size?

Feel free to update this "playing years" list if you have or know of any others
Hi Ben, the seller had two of the same variation. I managed to grab one as well and mine was also a little smaller than the prior ones I've purchased. No signs of trimming on mine and I can't think of a good reason they would have been trimmed anyway.

Picked up another rare one off the Master Set Registry. Used the 10% off coupon to save some bucks.

Great card John and you got that one for a terrific price. The 1960s are incredibly rare and, for some reason, there just happens to be a few for sale now--I looked for roughly two years before purchasing my first one and didn't see a single one for sale during that time.

Yeah, may be the definition of POOR, but the image is pretty clear and there's no paper loss on the back.

It's awesome you were able to pick that one up. But, on a side note, don't you find it pretty funny that a card graded a 1 would get a qualifier? You'd think if a card was labeled a single step higher than 'authentic,' the full gamut of cardboard-based problems would simply be implied. And if the rule of thumb is that a card with a qualifier lowers the 'perceived grade' by 2 points, you now have a card graded a -1.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

PSA Auths used to count as 0.5 points in the standings, but AUTH, 1(Q), 1, and 2(Q) all count as PSA 1 for the set registry based on changes they made last year. Oddly enough, FAIR 1.5(Q) is still worth 1.5. 3(Q) now is worth 2 points, while 4 and up with qualifiers equal a two-grade drop.
