Yes, the 79 fronts with 78 backs were rescued by someone, I forget the dealer who ended up with them. I bought a strip of them at the time, arrived poorly packed and a bit creased since the box got a bit crushed in the mail. I still have it somewhere.
That was my second experience with mail order for collectibles, neither went all that well. They've been ok over time of course, but at the time it put me off mail order for a long time.
The 78 backs were also used for Bazooka boxes. They also used cardboard from Black Hole cards for bazooka boxes.
