365 Days of Roberto Clemente

I know there are a lot of questions about the 1966-1971 color issues - while I can't resolve them all, I believe I can shed some light.
This is a sealed 1966 team set

1970 4x5 set

I have not seen this one around. It is similar to what PSA identifies as a 1971 set, but the coloring is much whiter. This is sealed in the original bag.

PSA identifies this as 1971 - It could be or possibly 1970. This is a sealed pack with no year identifier on the back.

This is likely a 1970 autograph card

These have slightly different textural , size or cropping differences - I presume them to be various appearance or team issues (except the postcard - no idea there!)

Awesome resource Howard. I recall asking before but we didn't finish the discussion: your sense of why PSA will authenticate/label some of these but not others? Is it just a question of what they can know for sure, and if they are unsure about provenance then the default is to not be willing to slab at all and therefore not include in the master list?

Howard,

Love the team issue and Jays! Please post again when you get them back from PSA. I think these are under appreciated, but I really like them.

Is the postcard a Jim Rowe? The writing on the back looks similar to the one’s I have.

I think that is a 1971 issue. I purchased series A and B individually in sealed packs. I later purchased the undated Blue card from a collector who was breaking up a complete set. His set did not have the Series A and B checklists. He claimed to be the original owner and that they were purchased as a complete set without the checklists.
