Hello all! Todd Schultz and I are currently hard at work on a detailed article for Old Cardboard on these great sets. This board has been a great resource for hobby research projects, and we’re hoping you’ll all want to contribute to this one.

We are not doing a full-scale population survey, but we are trying to puzzle out a number of M101-style obscurities and anomalies, and it would really help if you could report any holdings in the cards listed below.
