Hi Ted,

I recall a few of those threads and they certainly helped fan the flames of the quest.

Hi Barry S.,

I sure ATC had no thoughts on what we collectors would think of as a set, and even more likely did not have the intention or care to categorize their offerings into anything other than a marketing tool. One of the obstacles to studying the subject is the fact that collector's have categorized and thus created divisions where divisions were not necessarily intended. For example--nonsports vs. baseball cards--when in fact they were issued together. Don't get me wrong, it's great for the baseball collector or nonsports collector, but not so much for the card purist.
