I just wished they hadn't used the Kewpie Doll artist, and not even bothered issuing the E91C, or even the E91B set, because they just planted the 'generic' idea in our collective mindsets.
Over time I have also noted that both the E91B and E91C sets seem slightly more available than cards from the E91A set. Also, I don't believe the Slagle to be any less common than the rest of the E91A cards.

Hi Brian,
I'd really enjoy reading that, so I hope you find the time to do it!
Part of me agrees they should have stopped with the A series, but then I'd have no Red Sox (that don't look like the players) to collect...

Cheers,
