David SmithSo, the sets most talked about so far; Tango Eggs (Louisiana), Star Player Candy (Upper Miswest) and Just So (Cleveland) are Regional issues at best and possibly just test issues.
What about the Kalamazoo Bats NY cards? Would they also be considered a Regional issue (New York area) since the tobacco company was located in Philadelphia and featured mostly Philly players?
Also, why were there a pad of S81 Christy Mathewsons found? How many were in the pad? Was Mathewson originally going to be the only player featured in the promo and then someone changed their minds? Were more Mathewsons printed because he was the most popular and then the promotion ended and they were stuck with the pad? The last idea doesn't seem logical because Cobb and Johnson were also in the set.
As far as cards or sets created and then destroyed before ever being issued, that is a good question. T231 Fans Cigarettes might fall in that category. Leon? Leon??
