Does anyone have a full list of exactly which 66 cards from this set were double printed? Thanks.

    I happened to have an old Beckett Guide nearby. Just a quick glance through. I may have missed one or two.

    Awesome, thanks for that. I count 65 numbers listed, so I think you probably missed one somewhere, but this is a great basis for me to start.

    Also, does anyone know what cards typically came in original 500-count vending boxes? I'm interested in this set because my father originally had two of these vending boxes that I and my so-called "friends" obliterated (i.e., the neighborhood bully and his posse forced me to trade with him on my front porch even though I didn't want to) when I was about 9 or 10 years old. There were several fights involving my parents and his parents over the Murray rookie card, and I seem to remember there were two Murray cards in the original two boxes, leading me to think it was double printed. But it's not in the above list, so maybe not.

    I still have about 300-350 mostly commons in the vending boxes that I'm going to use to start rebuilding the set.

    The completist in me didn't want to leave you hanging. Add card #204 to the above list to give you 66.

    Fantastic, I appreciate it. After your last post, I went and looked at some of my old Beckett magazines from the early 90s and they didn't have these listed. What Beckett guide are you getting these from?

    It's actually one of the annual guides they released way back when (1987). Since I'm not a modern guy, it's still good for checking on DPs, what cards make up the series for different years. Stuff like that.

    i was shocked to see that the Standard Catalog does not list what the DPs are in the 78 set
