All Skowron cards have a stray line from the artwork that goes outside the box. There appears to be a matching stray line on the McFarlane scan but I don't think the scan is good enough to confirm. Maybe JollyElm can do a mashup of the McFarlane miscut and a Greg Morris Skowron card to see if they line up? It would be best for someone to win the McFarlane card and then put it next to a Skowron card and see if it lines up.

This miscut of 552 is currently on ebay. Just a hint of the orange back of a card can be discerned. To me, it matched 566 Cuellar, and if true, then that would put 566 in the spot between McFarlane & Mahaffey, with 532 above McFarlane & 552 above Cuellar. However, my graphics ability is limited, so this would need someone to confirm.

Since the rest of the black is thick and rich, I think the 'Skowron Blip' on the McFarlane card is just an unrelated gray area, or toning or something, so I don't believe it to be a match...

How funny is it that on the back of Moose's card, although he won multiple championships during more than a decade in the majors, the highlight they chose to include harkened all the way back to his minor league days??

JollyElm is right, it’s a stain or a blemish on the McFarlane miscut in almost the exact spot where the stray line is on the Skowron. That means it has to be Cuellar or Gonder but I don’t see any irregularities that would pinpoint a certain card.

Check out the Tebbetts miscut on ebay (shown in post 424). Tebbetts must be above either an unidentified card (528, 566, or 590) or above Mahaffey (570). If Tebbetts is above Cuellar, then that would put 532, Monteaugue, above McFarlane.

A miscut Cuellar is on eBay, maybe someone can figure out which card is below it. It's not Gaylord Perry because the two stat lines would be showing. ETA, it can't be John Sullivan either, Sullivan has a distinctive bulge on the upper left corner of his salmon stat box, so that means it has to Orlando McFarlane or Art Mahaffey, I believe.

[Kevvyg1026]

Pretty hard to distinguish between whether Cuellar is above 569 (McFarlane), 570 (Mahaffey), or 597 (Sullivan) with just that partial shown. However, the black stats lines on both the McFarlane card and the Sullivan card run closer to the pink background edge than those on the Mahaffey card, so because we see none of the lines in the pink, perhaps it is Mahaffey underneath Cuellar.

In addition, there is a severely diamond cut Cuellar card, so that may mean the Cuellar card is close to an edge. If so, then Cuellar is in the 10 slot, above Mahaffey and with Queen to its right. Then Monteagudo and Tebbetts would occupy the 8th and 9th slot respectively in that same row (Perranowski row).

If true, then only Skowron and Gonder require placement. One would be above Perry everywhere in the sheet while the other would be above Sullivan everywhere in the sheet.

Nothing to add but tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of the start of this thread.

This has been one of my most enjoyable threads and thanks to all who have contributed in some way.

It's like trying to put together a 50 year old jigsaw puzzle without the picture of the completed puzzle.
