1961 Post Cereal (F278-33) Baseball Forum

Both cards (Box cut and mail in) have his 1960 stats as 30 Doubles and 63 RBI.      Baseball-almanac has them as 31 Doubles and 65 RBI.     I haven't fixed one of these in ages.     If someone would care to double check the information and update the TCBD entry, it would be appreciated.

I moved this forum thread from General into the set you're talking about. That helps anyone to navigate to the set much easier.

I checked baseball reference, 12 HR, 65 RBIs. Topps card says the same. Post cards show 12 HR, 63 RBIs.

I added UER notation.

Better to go to the card that has the error and submit an inaccuracy report (IR) than a forum post as oftentimes forum posts get lost in the shuffle. IRs go to a queue and are not lost or forgotten (they may take a while, but they are still there).

Just be sure the stats haven't been corrected since they were originally recorded.  The Society for American Baseball Research has analyzed old records and found errors and updated stats.  The stats could have been correct as known in 1961 when Post printed the cards, but are now incorrect.

This is why I compared it to the 1961 Topps card before I added the UER notation. Topps had 65, just like BR. Post has 63 - but they both have the correct lifetime total.

And please don't ask what kind of a life I have that enabled me to find that error.   I could blame it on the weather but it wasn't the culprit.

LOL - Eagle eye is what I was thinking, Yeah, that's the ticket...
