About 2000, I had a couple dozen from this set including I think the Wagner pictured above as well as a Collins that was at least 1/4 inch too tall. It's a great series, I regret trading mine.

Nice Wagner and Chase.

If any of you have an e92 George Gibson Rear View that you might be interested in parting with, let me know.

It appears the quality control was pretty pathetic in the printing of crofts cocoas...as most backs are off centered...er I mean extremely rare and valuable print errors!!!!

Very true, Pete, about the quality control on Crofts Cocoas in particular of the E92 sets.
Makes me appreciate the small handful of examples that I have which are in pretty nice shape. My favorite set. Trying to bring as many of these beauties home to the Philadelphia area as I can. :D http://sgccardregistry.com/cards/us71762.jpg http://sgccardregistry.com/cards/us71789.jpg |
In an effort to keep this thread going a little longer and to see some other Crofts Cocoas that are out there, here are a few of my favorite misprints and miscuts.
