American Caramel E90-1 - 100 Subjects?

[T206Collector]

The backs say 100 subjects. And I know there are 120 different known cards. But, is it possible that American Caramel was counting "subjects" as in "player names" and came up with 100? If you put all of the same last names together as one, you come awfully close to 100. I don't know. Has this been discussed?

Is it just common knowledge that the 100 has no correlation to anything other than initial expectations?

Maybe the first 100 were planned, and then others were added in later years?

Thoughts? Old threads I should read on the subject?

Thanks for any input you might have.

Great set, and great topic! There are a couple of threads that I have found as I researched this set. The ones that I believe talk about different theories pertaining to the "100 subjects" are here:

"Thank You Scott for Your FINE Work!!!"

Scott makes some very good points in his thread. I believe that some of the TPG numbers are slightly off because of the fact that some collector's submit for re~grades, Crossovers, etc... However, the numbers do reveal good statistical facts for us grow on...

Thanks, Denny. Hadn't seen that one yet.
