I actually thought it was the opposite, most people didn't care because it was such a subtle difference, that there still could be tons of them out there sitting in collections and the owners don't even know.

As Scott said, they became popular awhile back and when I went through my cards and saw I didn't have one, I went on ebay and bid on the first two I saw that same day, won them both for a decent price. I know Johnny V stocked up on them quickly too.

They really went from very rare to coming out of the woodwork quick back then and the prices were reasonable, despite the new-found interest, likely because people collected brands not specific backs. They still pop up from time to time with no mention of the 42 back because as I said, lots of people still don't know.
