So taking off on the original question ... the checklist for these sets (wide pens, fine pens, related sets) seem all over the place depending on which source you look at.

For example I have heard there Nutticomb, Shag Shaunessy and Webb Wide Pen Type 1 versions - but I assume this is just someone who made a mistake with another type.

Is there a source that is really an accurate checklist? (all of them seem slightly wrong from what I've seen. The chapman/werber shown for example shows several of those lists aren't complete).

Cheers,
Patrick

It seems no one is really keeping up with updating vintage lists in the hobby, in an official type manner, like SCD Krause did when Lemke was there.

My two-part article in Old Cardboard Issues 6 and 7 is the most complete examination of these sets, and the most complete checklist. Back issues are available from the Old Cardboard website.

Nutticomb is a complete phantom - supposedly stuck in there by an early checklister to check whether other sources were lifting his checklist. There has never been a major/minor leaguer with that name.

There is no Webb in any of these sets. Shaughnessy is in the Canadian set (R314-type 5) only.

Tim, thanks for the reminder.

To all vintage collectors:
We are continually expanding and refining our checklists on the Old Cardboard website and, with input from our readers and Net54 members, are committed to continue to do so.

Thanks to all who have contributed in the past.
