We've had a few threads of late about the T218 set, but I wanted to start one on the Canadian C52 Imperial Tobacco set.

All of the cards in this set are also in the T218 set, though the C52's do have numbers 1-100 on the back. Some of the numbers are duplicated though; this is the list we developed in a previous thread:

Does anyone have others not on this list, maybe other duplicate numbers, so that the whole 153 card T218 set is represented in the C52 set?

The numbers really surprise me - just from PSA pop reports, 6,394 T218s have been graded, but only 78 C52s. Does this mean they just haven't been graded, or are these 80x scarcer??

I'd love to hear from others who are interested in the C52 cards - is anyone else working on the set? I'm missing the following (known) numbers, so if anyone could help me with any of these, please let me know!

4b Dick Hyland BOX
5b Ad Wolgast BOX
6a Budd Goodwin TRK
8b Packy McFarland BOX
12 Battling Hurley BOX
23 C.M. Daniels (seated) TRK
50a Bert Keyes BOX
50b Jimmy Walsh BOX

And I have extras of these three as trade bait for anything on the above list:
46 Phil McGovern BOX
58 Arch Hoxey AVI
84 George Sutton (F) POOL

Thanks!
