The counts on Priddy aren't that far below those of Mota, Ron Locke, Yankees TC, so he might be a 4x

This Howard popped today on ebay - to his right lies a red-bordered card. At first I thought it was a Yankee or Pirate, but when I blew it up, it seems clearly red.

The only candidates which aren't already known to have a match on their left sides are Aguirre, Hoeft, Kennedy and the Tigers Rookie Starts. All of these, plus Howard, are in the 3x range, so none can be eliminated that way.

You can't see any traces of the adjacent card on the reverse - I thought I saw a couple spots that might have been black ink - below the 499 run total and under USA in the copyright, but I think they are both effects of the edge itself.

Looking at Hoeft, Aguirre and Kennedy - they all have writing which might be able to be seen. The Tigers RS reverse lettering all begins lower on the card than those three, so I tend to think the card next to Howard is Tigers RS.

Thoughts?

Do you think it is possible that it is a checklist? One of the checklists is supposed to be in column 2 if the patterns from the other series were followed.

I hadn't thought about the checklists. I compared, and the white portion of the checklist is closer to the card edge than the black text on the rookie cards, so my suspicion is still Tigers Rookies Stars.

I think it's ultimately too close to call though, so I'm not going to place it.

Found this Battey on eBay today. I thought for certain I'd be able to ID the card above him, but after several attempts I keep coming up empty. The likeliest candidate may be Cloninger, but there'd be more black ink on the Battey side. See what you think...

It can also be Nottebart, Ellis, Horlen, or Azcue. ETA I noticed that it lines up with the center of the baseball and Cloninger is the only one that does so you are probably right.

Found this Gagliano with an Oriole or Astro to his left.

I have Gagliano as an all-but-certainly 4x.

These O's and Astros I have as likely or certainly 3xs so they would not be candidates: Grote, Miller, O's Rookies, Nottebart, Siebern.

These likely or probably 4xs could be his neighbor:
Rowe, Owens, Fox.

Sadly, none of these can be take out of the running automatically because we don't have any of them paired with anyone to their right yet.

Thoughts?
