hospital postcard and sports heroes sticker should go in top section
rawlings 69 yes however in red...post career card
mannyland yes
54 all star 56 57 60 and 68 picture pack photos yes
70 clinic card in red only
and of course mascot dog food
AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE...LABEL THE COLORS OF ARMOUR COINS.....

I believe the Hospital Postcard is in red in the super set because the example I requested that they add only graded authentic (they thought it was miscut but I’m fairly certain it was trimmed down). I haven’t requested that they add it to the Master Set yet but will at some point. Mike, if you want to trade your Rawlings for it, let me know!

There are so many items that aren’t in yet that should be, but it’s such a frustrating process trying to get stuff added that I won’t bother anymore.

Agreed re the Armour coins. The 1970 clinic card post dates his career though and probably is better suited for the super set.

Thanks for all the replies regarding the Mantles not on the "Master" list. I should mention that I don't participate in the registry, but I just thought since it is a "Master" list, it should include everything that we know of. It even includes items that were not meant to be cut from a box, e.g., the little photo on the top flap of the Transogram box. But yet, items that we've mentioned are not included?

What about the 7 (nice number, ) J.D. McCarthy postcards and the 8 x 10 J.D. McCarthy photo?
Doubt PSA will ever grade since tough to pinpoint printed dates & they kept printing into the 70's right?
Yes, they were printed for a long time. But, the Exhibit postcards were printed for a while. Doesn't PSA list the date as 1947-1966 on Exhibit post cards?

And the 2 8 x 10 Holiday Inn photos (one with Maris). Not to mention the Holiday Letterheads (at least 3 that I know of), the napkin, packs of sugar, ...;
I can confirm PSA is not slabbing the HI photos. They said not enough catalog info.
I have 4 different letterheads and 2 different envelopes but doubt they would grade. That would be a trip if they slabbed sugar! lol
There are also the 3 different brochures that are cataloged - they might actually slab those since they are 8.5x11 folded.
The sugar was kind of tongue in check, but also pointing out the inconsistency of PSA. The packet of sugar I have is not all that thick and might fit in a holder. But even if it doesn't, couldn't a person remove the sugar and have it graded? PSA encourages the destruction (yeah, an over exaggeration) of match books by having all the matches removed so they can be slabbed.

Plus the Wonderbread premium photo;
Isn’t it larger than 8.5x11?
The Wonderbread photo is 5x7.

The 1954 Sports Illustrated Topps "Card;"
Too many reprints.
Isn't that PSA's job - to distinguish between the real deal and reprints/forgeries?

The Bat Master premium photo;
Probably won’t since almost an ad.
The Bat Master photo was a premium found inside the Bat Master product and is no more an ad than the HI premium postcard.
Also, isn't the Bobbin' Head photo actually listed as an ad photo?

The Denim Jeans label;
Doubt it.
These are probably not much different than the HI coasters.

The Sports Pix Magazine premium photo;
Think this will be slabbed in Jumbo.
There are two sizes of these. What is the maximum size PSA will slab? One is 8x10 which I gather they would slab. The other is listed as 8-1/2x10-1/2, but the one I have is 8x10-1/2 with no sign of trimming, which I assume would be too large?

Also, yes to the Mascot dog food, adding the colors to the Armour coins, Mannyland photo, etc.

"rawlings 69 yes however in red...post career card"
As are everything issued in '69 including Topps cards.

Chris, if I had an extra Rawlings card, I would definitely trade with you. But I don't. However, I do have an extra '65 Yankees photo set with Mantle. I'd gladly trade you the entire set for just the Mantle hospital postcard.

Lastly, "68 picture pack photo". What is this and who issued it? I hadn't heard of this photo pack before.

In general i don't think they recognize color variations for some reason...
Light brown/brown and Yellow/brown Yoo-Hoo...the card stock is even different.
But it isn't cataloged

Again, nice matchbook collection! I passed on a light brown matchbook a while ago because I didn't know they existed. I thought it must be a faded yellow matchbook. If you ever want to get rid of any, let me know. I might be able to find a good home for them.

Definitely 68 issue
I had the unopened pack

Agree - I think PSA should have just slabbed the full book. I confirmed that Beckett will slab with matches and I plan on doing that with my pc items. My best condition books are still full/intact. Maybe Beckett will do the research and mark at least the 5 main variations on the flip...then PSA will eventually catch up since they will be cataloged lol

The Sports Pix Magazine premium photo;

JUMBO can slab anything up to 8.5x11 so both are fair game imo.

see link - i'm guessing he meant these?

As Keyman points out, those were issued in 1966. They were given out during a home game. They must have also been sold in concession stands. They can be found with either Houk or Keane (I've seen Keane much less often, probably because he was fired early in the year).

By the way, very nice HI matchbook collection! (insert envious emoji here).
