AnthonyTed- Thanks, as always, for the info.
Football makes the most sense- I can't see them changing the wrapper for the 2nd series and making it less product specific.
On the distribution of the sp series, wasn't Rosen's unopened find from Florida? while that doesn't mean they started out there, it would be interesting to track down where exactly they went.
I recall an article in The Trader Speaks about '74 or '75, where they were discussing new found Leafs, and at that point the set included about 88 cards. I"m guessing that Rosen's find significantly increased the amount of cards in circulation. To date I've only seen or heard of 1 unopened short print pack- unfortunately I didn't note the wrapper on it.
