Jan. '18 Card of the Month - Black Box w/ Square left edge

Had  someone suggest making a 'Card of the Month' post.  Not sure if I'll remember to do it every month but here goes.....

Not in any particular order.  First card to spotlight is the Black Box w/ Straight left edge.  First of the Black Box creations.  Less common that the Rounded Black Box varieties but doesn't command a premium.  I even found one with a factory saw-cut on it.  Only one I've seen like this.

New Pickup for 2018

Something new for 2018.  Just picked up this 12 card strip with a Rounded Black Box w/ Jagged upper left white line.  First time having one of these versions with the color bar bottom.  Cheap fun!

F-Face Saw-cut strip

Big thanks to Brian K. for his generous donation of this 12 card strip of '89 Fleer that includes a FF version with the factory sawcut notch at the bottom. 

'Test Run' A616-101

100% fake.  Don't be fooled.  Yes, I have one but it's a homemade creation.  Novelty only.

Topps Vault picture from 1988

New pickup.  A nice 'Topps Vault' approved print of Billy from 1988.  Wearing the #7 jersey and showing the knob of the bat.  Not the FF bat, but shows the initials BR.  It's very similar to the R161 bat I have from 1988. 

Have to wonder if a FF picture exists.....

Not Fleer, not a baseball card but a neat a addition to the FF collection.
