Glad to see you chime in on this thread, because I always associate this set with you.
I do have one question...I have the following cards listed below with the 'When You Think" backs, which differs from what shows on the Master Checklist on the Old Cardboard site. I assume that examples of each of these cards should be as I have listed them (or else I am just one incredibly lucky ducky collector).
012a Jack Barry - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
018a George Bell - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
023a Bob Bescher - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
036a Bobby Byrne - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
072a Mickey Doolan - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
110a Topsy Hartsel - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
166a Amby McConnell - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
177a Fred Merkle - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
258a Bill Sweeney - designated having a 2 (If you want) back, I believe listing should designate this card as a 1 (When you think) instead
