Skip numbered doesn't count because the OP specifically stated he wanted the first series to be 1-x, not 1-x minus certain numbers.
I am interpreting "take hold" as not using gimmicks like withholding numbers to get collectors to buy more packs like in 1953. Prior to 1956, having a specific group of cards as a series was not a standard practice.
