Are Tango Eggs Real?

[sgbernard]

I know the story about Tango Eggs: in 1991, a hoard of some 700 or so of these were found, Bescher and Jennings were the most common, and most were high grade. How do we know that these weren't all made in 1991? Were other examples known at all to the hobby before then? How were they distributed with eggs, in the egg cartons? Has anyone ever found anything on the L. Frank's egg company or seen any packaging? I love the backs (Egg cards!), but I've always wondered how we know these aren't just a cool and creative modern fiction. Feel free to show your cards, too: I sold my example (Bescher, go figure) earlier this year.

Edited to say: Man, I'm getting a bit foggy in the head. I was searching through the archive, and I found that I had posted on this same topic awhile ago.

Leon: I'm an idiot, you can delete this post. Or we can talk about these curious cards again, whatever!
