I'm guessing this was largely ad-hoc - they would probably just produce one series and when it sold out produce another one, and another and another, etc etc until 1977 hit and they decided to do it all over again (the 1977 set is not as big but quite confusing).Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-16779312504179071932018-05-17T03:21:39.899-07:002018-05-17T03:21:39.899-07:00Such an interesting set with regional issues, high...Such an interesting set with regional issues, high numbers, & different backs. I really wonder what they were thinking making this set? I mean it had to have been more expensive designing all those cards instead of limiting it to several hundred. I wonder if they knew they had a hit so wanted to make it hard to complete to drive sales back in 1975-1976.SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.com
