Posted By: <b>Bryan Long</b><p>The butterfinger set I know comes in two variations - 1 paper stock and 1 with cardbaord stock that also has an ad of the front for butterfinger. My question is does the whole set come in both variations? I have only seen one card with the ad on the front, but after reading a little about the set it sounds as though you can find the complete set both ways.<br><br>.

Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>Lew Lipset sold a group of 11 different in April.<br /><a href="http://www.oldjudge.com/auction/baseball/sets/92/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldjudge.com/auction/baseball/sets/92/</a><br /><br />In the description, he claims that only 11 different cardboard Butterfingers exist, and he identifies them. He is mistaken, however, as I personally own at least 2 others--a Frisch and Tex Carleton. Still, no one has come forward, to my knowledge, with evidence of a complete set, and since they're damn hard to find as it is, asssembling such a set would be extremely difficult even if every card was produced with the ad front.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/taslegal54/34r310frisch.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>The cardboard examples certainly seem to be less common. However, the thin stock ones are VERY difficult to find in mid-high grade condition. <br /><br />
