Thanks Ricky...the centering is pretty challenging, to the point where in some cases I'm just going to have to ignore it. Amazing how bad quality control was back then.

Guess a monopoly isn't that good for the consumer.

One more upgrade batch:

A few more formerly missing cards added:

An update on where things stand:

17 cards missing

26 upgrade candidates

Next step is to pick away at the missing cards, maybe sell off my dups to help finance the purchases. Some of it won't be cheap....Nolan Ryan and 2 Hank Aaron cards are among those 43, so it won't always be cheap and easy.

Are you going to list the cards missing or needing upgrades?
