My mysteries:

1) How were W502s distributed, and were the blank-backed W502s actually a part of a different set?

2) Who was Henry Johnson, and is it even possible to build a complete set of Henry Johnson Confectioners-backed E121s?

3) Why did Goudey buy National Chicle's assets but not really use them?

4) Why were 1938 Goudeys reprinted twice (with and without cartoons), and why do the backs of the second series allude to another 24 cards? Were the "missing" 24 cards ever designed, and who were the subjects?

5) Why do most of the 1938 Goudey high number Joe Vosmiks have a pronounced tilt?

6) What do the pencil markings on the back of E121 Herpos signify?
