[G1911]

In addition to the thousand sets I'm slowly building, I like to pick up type cards from new issues when I see them cheap. I got Walker Cooper at a show for $12 on a whim a few months ago, and was pleasantly surprised to recently see it's listed as a tough SP in my copy of the Standard Catalog, and the second priciest card behind the Mantle. Since then I've picked up Frank Thomas (that makes 2 of the 3 designated SP's) and a couple Hall of Famers (Wynn and Doby). I guess this means I'm starting another set.


I'm a low-grade collector, so the gross greasy stains on all the cards isn't an issue. The waxy surface feel is a bit unusual, and the design a lot like the Johnston cookies 53/55 sets. Anyone collect this set? How tough are the Short Prints, or are the catalogs misleading? Anyone have or have a photo of an unopened bag? The cards were clearly in direct contact with the chips. Any favorite cards or oddities?
