Which Jay Publishing Yaz is this?

DBesse27

Hi guys, I recently picked up this Yaz. I know it’s a Jay Pub, but looking at other Yaz master sets and TCDB has been no help in determining which one it is. The Yaz master composite includes the following:

Batting/waist, 1 ear showing
Batting/waist, 2 ears showing
Batting

Does anybody here know which of the above is shown in the pic below? Appreciate any help.

It appears you have the one ear version ! The number one set in the 1962 -65 Jay Publishing
Set has pictures of the one you have !

Awesome, thanks for the help!

Gotta say, I don't see the difference.

I am glad at least that I aligned decades ago with my higher power (of nothing) that if I ever own a collectible that designates one ear or two, that I be struck dead instantly.

Me neither.

Then can I send you mine? 😉

Neither one has Yastrzemski spelled correctly.

Good eye, we are all looking at the ears.

It is the exact same photo with the same background and people. How can there be different numbers of ears in each?

This is weird.

Should read “2 ears and some other dudes A$$”

Correct. Most of the Jay Pub Yaz cards are UERs

@DBesse27 Looking at all of the Jay on TCDB, my guess is that this is the "two ear" and that the above is a mechanical error:

This one is also labeled Type 2 batting, and is also cropped at the waist, and this may actually be the 1 ear version.

And an early grading had it noted on the flip "(misspelled Yastemski)" while the others didn't, as it appears they were all misspelled UER.
One thing is clear, the labeling and the POP reports are a mess.

I think you nailed it.

This is one of those "rabbit holes" I was afraid to go down.
I agree they are labeled all over the place.
I will have to find mine and tack pictures.

Yes. One thing is for sure. There are many cards on which the differences are difficult to describe, especially with as few letters fit on a label. I'm not sure PSA made the best choice here.
