I found a few of the Renata Galasso cards in the dollar box at a recent show and I like them real well. They are a nice change from all the glitz and glam of modern cards. I have purchased two of the six series off of EBay. The sixth and final series was numbered, as expected, 226 to 270.
I also bought the fifth series, but it is numbered 1-43 with two team photos from the 1933 All-Star game. When I compare the cards against a checklist (http://keymancollectibles.com/baseballcards/miscellaneoussets/1977renatagalassochecklist.htm) I found online, the sequence is reversed. For example, the checklist shows Lou Gehrig as card number 181, but it is marked as card 43 on the back. In contrast, Tony Cuccinello is shown on the checklist as card 223, but is marked card number 1 on the back. All the players match, but they are just in reverse sequence.
This is probably a dumb question, but is there another Galasso set that is actually numbered 181 to 225?
