Some of you know that about five months or so ago, I decided to start working on a nice W502 set. My goal was to build it in as nice condition as possible, which I thought would be moderately challenging but not impossible, due to the lack of popularity of this set. My impressions were that the 1928 ice cream cards were far more popular and in demand than the 502s, and so I'd be able to build this set with little competition and at decent pricing.

Problem is, in the five months, I've found exactly one card (to add to the three I already had). There are a few examples on eBay at prices I'm not comfortable with, and a few "authentic" or super-low grade examples have popped up now and again, but it just seems like these cards have suddenly disappeared.

Anyone have any insight into this?
