I would absolutely love to see a list of hypothesized locations - it would make for an awesome GIS map.

Thanks
We talk a whole lot about distribution of cards in different threads. I don't know of a consolidated book but if you get the Krause SCD Baseball catalog, Lew's Encyclopedia's, and a few other hobby mags including OldCardboard, you will find a lot of information concerning distribution venues.
