Candelaria is one of the truly toughest cards in the set. There's a gross PSA 10 on eBay right now that is closer to NM than Gem, but that card is brutally tough. For reasons unknown, the White Sox and Pirates are the toughest cards. One theory is the incidental sheet placement and overspray issues upon re-inking...but it doesn't explain the focus, registration shifts.
What cards are giving you the most problems?

I started with a LOT of cards, but I am still finding a LOT of gaps. No specific cards are an issue...yet. I'm just not that far...but the thin paper, bad centering, and other production issues are making this set a bit more of a challenge than I expected!
