Thanks to your input, I have adjusted the following cards below that are bold and italicized (boy, I am really getting extra fancy). I believe this comes out to 400. Pipe up if you think I have been too aggressive, or perhaps completely ignored your suggestions.
I also like the 400 total tie-in to the backs as mentioned by orioles70. What do people think about his idea of extra credit for the backs? I am a front guy so backs values are a little foreign to me, and I would need help in formulating their values. I would assume all Sweet Caporal and Piedmont (except factory 42) would be Zero value, and go up from there (perhaps Polar Bear a value of 1?, etc.). If I did add this, this back value would be separately identified by a slash. For example, if someone had an Eggs Value of 205, and their backs for these cards added up to 72, it could be identified on the EGGS list as 205/72. If collectors did not want to participate in the backs portion, that same EGGS value would just be shown as 205. I would not want the backs to boost the EGGS value, but perhaps it would be fun to note this as well...let me know what you think.
