I would be very interested to read research on this topic. Information on the distribution of the entire set itself would be fascinating to me, as I always assumed the set was limited geographically - mainly because, in upstate NY in the 1950's, I only saw the cards in the collections of kids who had travelled to the NYC area to obtain them. That they had been distributed west of the Mississippi, while I could not find them in stores a hundred miles away from Brooklyn seems strange to me.
