Interesting all three inserts sets are 24 subjects in length, it suggests one massive printing of each vs. how they distributed earlier, longer insert sets like the 1966 Ruboffs or the coins in '64 or '71.

The story books were the most difficult insert for me in Southern California. Part of that is the 7th series cards were hard to find in our area. I definitely had more scratch offs than posters, but I had more 4th series cards than any other series. I feel that the scratch offs may have been in 3rd series, but am not sure. The inserts were definitely unique to series that I bought. There was no mixture.
