Lots of those photos also appear on SPA buttons from the same time period.
Admittedly I haven't really done much research on this subject, I've just been trying to compile the checklist for the set. But if you (or anyone else here) could shine any light on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Ok, spoke to father about this. Bottom line is he just doesn't remember

. I think we can figure it out with a bit more research though. The Monte Irvin image shown in your blog post was in-fact a TCMA image so it'd be hard to believe TCMA would be selling these via mail order if the manufacturer of the buttons was stealing their photos. Do we have verification the buttons were being sold through a TCMA publication?
