Thanks for starting this one, Ted. The most fascinating part about this set, to me (aside from the lack of starpower that has been discussed thoroughly here) is the card surface, or gloss that was mentioned once above in passing. Perhaps I am way off base, but I find that to be the most significantly unique thing about this set, when compared to its contemporary issues. Are there others with this same gloss? what is known about it? was it a new technique in making cards at the time? perhaps this might narrow down what printers could have been making these cards?
any thoughts on this? I have endeavored to collect the Cubs team set. I have completed it, less the extremely tough Ward Miller. The degree to which the gloss is intact on some of the lionel Carter examples that I own, is fairly impressive, in my humble opinion. Here's half of the 10-card team set...very unique cards, indeed! PS - Drew: I don't suppose you have a beater duplicate of Ward Miller ?
