Is there a reliable checklist for this set?
How many cards are on a strip?
What colors do the strips come in?
Which players are uncommon?
Which colors are uncommon?
What is the relative rarity of the set?

I look for these cards ever so often and my memory tells me they only come up for sale a couple times a year. I would be surprised if someone had a complete set or knew all the different variations. Glad I'm a type collector so I can move on...

They're tough. I lucked out and bought 8 for five dollars a pop at a recent card show. I sold four to Frank Ward who now has them for sale on his site, one to another board member and kept three for myself. They are as follows-
Chuck Klein-Sepia
Joe Judge-Sepia
Willie Kamm-Red

Zach - what criteria did you use to select those three as keepers? Highest quality card? Or something else?

They are very rare and tough to find. There are currently only 6 graded by sgc. The ones I have are red, but they also come in many different colors. I dont think anyone has ever seen a uncut mini strip.
