I'm not sure I believe this about the Tharp Babe Ruth, or maybe I just do not fully understand it. I would agree that Sweetman's is the toughest of the ice cream issues, or it was when I collected these years ago. I also see where the scans posted of the back variations for Harrington's in this thread are not listed on Old Cardboard, and are different from those referenced by Rhett for Yuengling earlier.
