I found this interesting and maybe (probably) it is why some "irregular" shaped sets are not as popular as other "regular" shaped cards. This statement in the Bulletin was in reference to size being an influencing factor in the popularity of postcards.. It pertains to our cards too, I believe...(and this coming from someone who loves oddball stuff)
“Therefore I believe that the basic reason for the popularity of any type of card collection is the fact that all cards of any one set are the same size. this (sic) seems to appeal to our inherent desire for universal law and order in an otherwise tumultuous world.” – Charles “Buck” Barker
