I bought a full set years ago and have upgraded a little since. I love it, there is some great artwork in it and the newspapers and headlines are quite well done.
I'm not sure all cards can be found with all black and sloganized black bars. The story I have heard is the slogans only came in five cent packs as the top card but I don't think that's correct. I think a number of cards also were produced with no black bars at all as some of mine seem way too clean to have been scratched off. And yet others always seem to have a light black like or two remain behind. One of the last small sized sets made by Topps back in their golden era; I've always wondered why the cards weren't larger.
