More on Kashins
Yes, it is true that the movie stars set is only 96 cards. I have pondered long and hard about why the set was limited to 25 baseball cards per box, and why the "short prints" were omitted from the listings on the box backs. Long story short, I have not yet found the Rosetta Stone that explains it. Still more research to do!
Some of the explanation may have to do with whether there really were single card sales prior to the boxed sales. I have seen one auction listing purporting to have a "single card holder" but the photo showed no company markings and it looked kind of home-made. If the cards were sold singly first, then the short prints could be better explained.
Thanks
