Thanks for the memory upgrade, Dave. Do you have access to any Gelman interviews or recollections in this specific vein? It seems that the Shorins just decided to trash the short prints, or some such. I had imagined that the three cards sat in a file drawer at Topps for a few years so that any requests coming in for them could be filled, but if, as you say, Gelman "rescued" them, what from, and to what extent?
