Jim VBWhen you think about it, that method seems to have been the "in" marketing method of the era.
US Caramel did it twice in their non-sports American Heroes (Presidents) series (few Mckinley's) and again in their sports cards (few Lindstrom's). Gum Inc. did it in their
Wild West cards (few #25's-Premium redemption card).
But Goudey seemed to pull two tricks, they issued the cards in skip-numbered fashion, and then didn't issue the Lajoie at all (that year).
Thank God, for us set collectors, that the card manufacturers got over that trend.
