identify7One point which I was hoping to crystallize was that in one year Topps Candy & Gum Co. assembled what Goodwin & Co., the American Tobacco Trust, and perhaps Goudey Gum Co.; required several years to accomplish.
I therefore conclude that there is only a battle among the non-Topps competitors for second place in historic, comprehensive sets. The winner is way far ahead of the pack.
That t206 and Old Judges are viewed as single sets, while Goudey and PlayBall are not, is an unimportant curiousity in this analysis; I think.
