I believe Leon that is the thought on the 1942 Baseball Card sales data in the original post. It seems that Goudey likely continued to sell the 1941 cards to distributers in 1942, and that this probably occurred for other issue years as well. The more modern analogy of Topps that Matthew mentioned in his previous post is also a distinct possibility.
Maybe not an exact analogy, but I grew up with the repackaged Topps 'Fun Packs' bags of year or two old misc. sports and non-sports card packs back in the late 1970's. Just a fun memory.
Brian (and back to the prewar subject on hand, here are some of Hubbell's off-kilter quality control killer friends. I believe seeing cards like these are what actually killed Goudey's quality control guy in 1941, and they never replaced him)
