As far as the 73's, I've not read anything about them specifically lately. I think there was something that appeared in an article in SCD probably 20 years ago that generated some excitement. Then they were being sold at shows as the different variations for a premium. I'm not sure exactly what caused the variation, but they certainly looked to be changed on purpose by the manufacturer. I was never sure one variety was actually rarer than another. And I really didn't care to be honest, but there was definately a variation. I chased the Washington Nationals when I was putting together my 74's. And I would pick up a white letter variation of the 69's if they showed up. I even picked up the differnt #11's and #22's in the deckle edge set. I guess what it comes down to for me is I like the more obvious variations, not printer malfunctions.
