THAT's FUNNY :-) I'll look again for the link for the clean one - unsure of size at moment or even if I can find it. I really would want to find one I can put with my udder stuff. Thanks for taking it the way you did - takes a real gentleman. Nice pres. BB club BTW. In the mid-1990's I wrote a couple of small articles about the fact the bodies were those of the Ginter female workers - the cigarette rolling girls - the blackstocking nine - Polka Dot Nine - call them what you want. Don Flanagan swore to me he had seen/sold some sort of contract relating to one of the teams. Frank Keetz (BB trade card cataloger/show promoter) had like 13?15? - have his note he sent from 1999(?) somewhere. He insisted on calling them trade cards. He wouldn't listen to me (as if anyone does). I tried collecting the set as well as any CDV's and cabinets of women BB players back then because I didn't really want to collect what everyone else does - just some form of it. It wasn't satisfying enough because there were so few examples of any of it. Great set on many levels and some are scarcer than others - I think because of demand for certain ones over supply - although there are very few of these to be had in the marketplace and it would have to be pure conjecture. Never heard of a complete set but who knows. I sold a single one on Feebay a few months ago........
