Thanks for the info. Dave Duncan and Mickey Rivers are on the back. It looks like maybe Yaz is the outlier. Since it's already going to cost the winner over 8K after vig and tax and the auction just opened yesterday, I figure those in the know are likely not worried. What you say about the leftovers makes sense, I just didn't recall seeing evidence of it and it does beg the question left over from what? Topps already had surplus series 1 when the third series was produced? Did they purposely hold back some of the star players as enticements in later racks? Again I'm just trying to figure out their practice, not trying to make waves for anybody.
