Tim NewcombTwo points about this interesting thread:
1. Andy asserts that Famous & Barr was issued with M101-4 numbers. Andy, are you positive about this? And can anyone else offer support for this position? I ask because I was under the impression that this back was only issued with M101-5. All 33 of my F&B backs correspond to the M101-5 numbers, and to my knowledge, every one I've seen does as well.
If Famous and Barr backs were issued with M101-4 numbers, it must have been in extremely small quantities, which ought to make any cards with these attributes quite valuable.
2. Has the most recent SCD volume (I don't have it) got Famous and Barr listed with M101-5, M101-4, or both? The 2002 book only mentions M101-4, which is very misleading, since it's clear that the vast majority (if not all) of F&B cards are M101-5.
Let's keep chatting about this great set.
