I'll write this again: the filing cabinets have been moved out of the Topps offices here and are now in a Fanatics storage facility - presumably near their HQ in Florida. They're gone. Could they reverse policy and move everything back to NYC? Maybe. Topps did that once, about ten years after they moved the filing cabinets and all the negatives to Duryea, PA. But these are new people in charge and if the old bosses were inert about their own Topps history, the Fanatics people have even less of a sense of it.

OTOH I literally have a hundred or more great images from this Brace lot to process and post and two of them are Washburn with the '70 Reds. This is actually good news because he was on the first list I took in to Topps in 2002 and there was no Washburn file at all. The filing system was incomplete after the letter T.
