Nice pick up Matt. I collect this set and have a little over 60% of the cards. I really don't know much about it though. I checked my wantlist and big surprise, I need #144
The Standard Catalog says the large size cards would not fit on one sheet like the '52 small sized cards, so some cards were pulled and I guess printed on a second sheet? "The short-printed cards are those with a factor of nine plus the card immediately following that number." And the second series cards (73-144) were printed in even lesser quantities than the first series.
Card #144 the last card in the set, a rookie card, a short-print (factor of nine card on the short printed second series on the short printed second sheet).
The most expensive card in the set!
Do I have this right
