Keith was involved in the making of the set - as was Bob Laughlin. I always enjoyed the set, myself - there was really no full size set to compete with Topps back then, and I liked the pure card format. Yeah, some of the pictures weren't the best - I would have loved to have seen some action shots reminiscent of the Pee Wee Reese from the 1953 Bowman set it was likely in homage to. The makers got sued by Topps, as I recall. I think SSPC had obtained rights to produce and were going on the premise that since they weren't sold with gum Topps' monopoly didn't apply. I think in the final settlement SSPC was allowed to sell what inventory they had left but were not allowed to produce any more. SSPC did produce later sets that were sold as magazine and yearbook inserts.
