Chicle High Numbers
Hi Jeff, really enjoying your thread! Those high numbers are tough. When putting my set together Tosi and Isola were two of the more difficult ones to find in higher grades. I have always held to the theory that the product didn't sell as well as expected resulting in a shorter print run for the highs. Several years ago I acquired several letters (correspondence) exchanged between the National Chicle Company and the Philadelphia Eagles regarding requests for player photos and bios - really interesting material. I also have the original artwork for one of the cards (Ernie Caddel) which I will post after you highlight his card.
Thanks again for keeping this thread going!
Mike
