Frank WakefieldAfter years of fooling around with these little cards, a new thought has occurred to me.
It was not some grand master plan going on... Someone in Virginia wrote or wired someone in NY at American Litho that they needed some more ballplayer cards for such-and-such brand and such-and-such factory. They didn't really care which ballplayers were on the cards, just send the correct brands to the correct factories. Someone did think a bit about who to get permission from / who to include, but just a bit. It wasn't rocket science. Any one of us today would put loads more thought into who'd we include in a 150 subject set... and who we'd add if expanding to 350.
