After seeing how badly B*ckett/BCP botched their 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes Memorabilia (Jersey) Black and Charcoal checklists, I went through and visually confirmed most of each set and submitted IRs as needed. I need some help with ones that weren't on COMC to get clarification on some and see if others exist. Please do not use B*ckett or BCP as references on this one -- we need visual proof on these!
"Black" = cards have a dark gray background on the front
"Charcoal" = cards have a light gray background on the front
-- The following are currently listed under MEM Black SN125 without visual confirmation. Can anyone confirm if these are Black or Charcoal, and if they're Black SN125, is there a Charcoal unnumbered version?
#21 David Ortiz (BOS)
#127 Joe DiMaggio (NYY)
#143 Roberto Clemente (PIT)
-- The following are currently listed under MEM Charcoal as unnumbered without visual confirmation. Can anyone confirm if this is correct, and if so, is there a Black SN125 version?
#32 Carlton Fisk (BOS)
-- The following have a visually-confirmed MEM Black SN125 but we don't have a corresponding Charcoal unnumbered in our CL as expected. Can anyone confirm any of the following exist?

#29 Clay Buchholz (BOS)
#57 Troy Tulowitzki (COL)
#69 Edinson Volquez (CIN)

#63 Gary Sheffield (DET)
#119 Joba Chamberlain (NYY)
-- The following aren't represented in either MEM Black or MEM Charcoal and it's likely they don't exist at all in these inserts/parallels, but just wanted to throw a list together in case a collector comes across one of these at some point:
