Actually I really like Ed's new approach. Dupes can get boring. The idea of getting as many singles as possible is a GREAT idea.
For those who were wondering: A complete set of 520 won't be possible. Ed didn't collect any PBs (killing Demmitt and O'Hara, which could be a blessing  ). Also Ed's collection was almost all Hindu, Piedmont and OM. The Piedmonts were almost ALL 150 or 350. There are only a minute number of 350/460, so that series will have many holes.
As an aside: The grand majority of OMs were OMSLs. Relatively very few non-OMSLs. My theory being that Ed lived in Florida, and OM distributed more SLs for that region.
Fun, fun, Scott 
Edit to add: Like the OMs, of the 66 Hindus, ONLY 3 were non-SLs. So same idea that Hindu distributed more SLs in the Southern region. |
That could be the case Scott, the Old Mill ad that I found a Few years ago was from a cigar and cigarette dealer in Tampa Florida and it specified Southern Leaguers. Eli Witt's name is mentioned in numerous papers as the largest cigar and cigarette dealer on the east coast. If this ad is correct just this shipment alone would account for 20,000 OMSL cards in the Florida area.
