Record Superseded

This Detroit-side December 15, 1963 record is a duplicate perspective of the three-team Detroit-New York-Cincinnati transaction that the league and all three team ledgers place on December 16. The supported deal sent Johnny Egan from Detroit to New York, Larry Staverman from Detroit to Cincinnati, Bob Boozer from Cincinnati to New York, and Donnie Butcher plus Bob Duffy from New York to Detroit. The superseded entry is retained for provenance but excluded from graded results.

Trade Analysis

The December 15 Detroit Row Is a Duplicate Perspective

This record describes the same three-team Detroit-New York-Cincinnati transaction that league and team ledgers place on December 16, 1963. It is not evidence of a second separate deal.

The Verified Three-Team Package Is Already Canonical

The supported transaction sent Johnny Egan from Detroit to New York, Larry Staverman from Detroit to Cincinnati, Bob Boozer from Cincinnati to New York, and Donnie Butcher plus Bob Duffy from New York to Detroit.

A New York Canonical Record Holds the Full Exchange

TradeVerdicts already preserves the broader multi-team deal in the correct canonical record. Keeping this Detroit-side legacy row as another graded trade would duplicate the same asset movements.

Preserve the Record for Provenance Only

The entry remains in the archive so the source lineage is auditable, but it is structurally superseded and excluded from graded outcomes. No team grade should be invented for a duplicate perspective.
