This idea of mine has existed for several years but only now am I ready to pursue it. Many moons ago I purchased what I affectionately call the '1972 Topps Peggy Find' - a lot of 1972's all with the name 'Peggy' and the years 1972 and (strangely enough) 1973 written on the front of each card. Some of you have received examples of these precious collectibles over the years. As I collect bottom of the barrel cards I tend to get many others with writing on the front: scribbled out names, scribbled out teams, self-made traded cards, artwork of various sorts...you get the idea. So I thought it might be fun to assemble a 'set' of cards all with writing on the front. Here are the guidelines: 1) Card must be a Topps regular issue card from 1957 - 1980. When this set is completed I'd like to be able to admire them in the worst 9-pocket sheets own. 2) Any number/year combo is fine. If I need #171, I don't care if it's a 1958, 1968, 1978 or any other year. If I get multiples of any number I will take the example that is most 'well loved' and re-circulate the others...so be prepared! 3) Checklists are NOT allowed. Those are just too easy :-) 4) You must not take cards from your dupes box and write on them before sending. Sure, I won't know the difference but it will be on YOUR conscience so how would you be able to sleep at night? 4a) You may use the 'Childhood Exemption' where you still have cards in your collection that you defaced as a wee lad and feel like donating them to this project. Of course if you still have cards from your childhood I'm thinking there's a slim chance they'll end up in my mailbox but thought I'd mention it anyway. Sounds like fun, doesn't it kids??

Meanwhile I have taken the spirit of your idea and listed this similar new set on my webpage: Any Year, Any Sport, Mis-Cut: Starting November 2010, I am going to try tocollect a binder with only mis-cut (mc) cards, at least one for each number. Any condition is ok, ideally whole, but I want these to be seriously mc. By mis-cut, I mean not just off-center, but there must be part of another card showing on the front, and the more of the other card, the better. Iam looking for any year, any sport (or non-sport) cards, even UV (which may be the hardest to find), but they should have their number still on them.Let's see how big a set it is possible to get, and how much variety I canfind. (Numbers underlined mean I have a slightly mc card and need to upgrade to a seriously mc card.) I need these numbers: 1-21, 22, 23-31, 32, 33-60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67-81, 82, 83, 84, 85-93, 95-118, 120, 121-6, 128-42, 143, 144-5, 147-53, 154, 155-64, 165, 166-82, 183, 184-91, 193-7, 198, 199, 200, 201-40, 241, 242-56, 257, 258, 260-8, 269,270-80, 281, 281-6, 287, 288-311, 313, 317-20, 321, 322-6, 328, 329, 330-6, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341-6, 348, 350-71, 373-92, 393, 394-410, 411, 412-8,420-22, 424-8, 429, 430-6, 438-52, 453, 454, 455, 457-76, 477, 478-512, 514-26, 527, 528-30, 531, 532-64, 566-7, 569-77, 578, 579-601, 602, 603-17, 618, 619-92, 693, 694-???

George Vrechek ================= To: , Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 11:17:49 -0500 From: richard dingman Subject: RE: [OBC-Wantlist] Re: all OBC WOF set Hi George and all, OK, the tough questions begin. Here are some tough, but arbitrary answers: Number one: what to do with numbers that are, due to the mis-cut, too hardto read? I already have a few and decided that, for now, I won't use themif I can't read them. I could look the player up and find the number, butwould rather have readable numbers, though not necessarily fully visible. So the number can be partially obscured as long as it is readable. Number two: what to do with cards that are 80% Schlabotnik but have another player's number on the back, due to a serious mis-cut? I don't have any yet, but am going to pull a ruling out of thin air and, having already, in issue number one above, established the importance of a readable number, give primacy to the number versus the player pictured. Sorry Joe Schlabotnik. Number three: what about traded cards? Any cards work; any sport, any year, even non-sport and non-english. Any card at all. I am interested to get not only greatly and interestingly mis-cut cards, but also wide variety. If I find a lot of suitable cards, I will expand to try to get 3 of every number. However, my preliminary survey (of my dupes) indicates that thoughoc cards are common, and very minimally mc cards not too hard to find, serious mis-cuts are harder to come by. So we will see. Number four: what about condition? In the OBC spirit, any condition is ok, though whole cards are best. Thanks for the interest and great questions, I am anticipating a fun project. If it pans out I'll bring it to Chicago next year.

In other words, my 1962 #152 Joe Shlabotnick card is miscut so that it shows 80% Joe excluding his card number, but 20% of #140 Gil Gamesh with the number visible. In that case, would Jim cross a badly cut #152 off his list, or a VERY badly cut #140? We need answers!!!!

IN the 1948 Bowman FB set, the cards were issued essentially as 3 groupings, card #s 1, 4, 7, etc.; 2, 5, 8 etc.and then the rare multiple of 3s, 3, 6, 9 etc. I picked up about 10 cards that have the pictures of divisible by 3 cards (rare) but thebacks are from teh 2, 5, 8 series. All wrong backs. Of course, someone realized what number the pictures were and in red pen changed the card # on back. So wrong back, with WOB. I also have a grouping of about 15 1962 Topps BB Bucks. All miscut essentially in 1/2. You get the bottom of 1 BB Buck on the top and the top of another BB Buck as the bottom. However, the 15 I have must be from the same sheet as if you put them together they make up the complete tops and bottoms of 14 of the BB Bucks. If I ever decided totape themtogether and recut them, I would have nice specimens. Among the ones I have is a Mantle. While I have very little of my collection in plastic, I actually do have botht he 1948 Bowman FB and the 1962 Topps BB Bucks in plastic. Very funny to look at.
