Forgive if these are a little scattershot.

Firstly: a lot of good names to add to the perusing. Thank you.

A macro reminder: whatever happened, happened decades ago: Files later than "TE" in the alphabet are really few in number. The missing W's far exceeds the W's who are there. They must've shot Ray Washburn with the '70 Reds, but I never found a file, 14 years ago, nor last week.

There was a Don Lock/Red Sox shoot when I first saw the files circa 2004. Will look again and try to get it moved into the "sell" pile. Topps did NOT shoot Lock with the Phillies, nor Frank MacCormack with Detroit. They not only got Dick Davis with the Blue Jays and Dennis Lewallyn with Texas but sold them a few years back, they were posted here, they are reposted below. I've already moved the "other" Steve Barber of the Twins into the "sell" pile. The "other" Bob Gibson exists only with the Brewers. If there's a Roy Foster file, it's not in the cabinets. Topps did not shoot Grote with the Dodgers. Oddly they had an action shot of him with the Royals - no clue where that went. Billy Grabarkewitz was shot with Oakland by the Topps Bay Area ace, Doug McWilliams but a) it's not in the Topps file but b) it IS in McWilliams' collection at the Baseball Hall of Fame library if you want to buy one through them.

Ron Roenicke was addressed above: you'll have to live with the 1985 uniform. There is no 1984 shoot. Jerry Manuel is a no-go with Montreal. The entire Rawly Eastwick file is gone. John Flinn, Milwaukee, nuh-uh (though there's a Tippy Martinez with the Brewers). Reggie Baldwin is a yes: put him on the "sell" pile. There was a Ruppert Jones with the Royals, the last time I looked (2005). Topps did a shoot with the late, tragic Dan Thomas but it was "loaned" to Larry Fritsch for the one-year-wonders sets and I don't know that it was returned. There's no Greg Thayer file.

Lastly, Alfredo Griffin is looking for a color shot of himself with the Indians, too. THAT file is also AWOL.
