Consecutive. 12345-12610. Definite short prints. Possible double or triple prints.

I checked and have a D12611 code card, so is that previously unknown.

No, it was a mistake on my part. I believe that is the last card, both my working sets have it as well.

Don't forget about the rare football backs

Just pulled a vending case from storage. If I get enough time I'm going to bust it.

Just got an Oscar Azocar and Joe Torre stat box error out of the same box! Have only seen one copy of the Azocar on these boards and the Torre is the first I've ever seen! Still trying to find a Rader #231 and a Bud Harrelson #261.

In case you ever bust that case; I wonder if they put in any of their buy back cards into said case

As I recall Topps was supposed to have gone into the market and bought 3 full set runs, 1952 to 1991. One run was the grand prize if you drew the right Game Winners card. Other winners cards were good for one of the full sets. The third run, 1957 on was distributed in packs. Not sure how many may still be lying around in unopened packs. From 52 to 56 there were redemption cards in packs. Not sure how many in those years were not redeemed. I also seem to recall that some high value post 56 cards also had to be redeemed and were not included in packs, but not sure

Still looking for 3 of the serial numbered game cards to complete a run
