(Said in a Seinfeld voice) What's the deal with 1969 high numbers??
In general, it's known that the high numbers are the toughest cards to find for most sets. Just thinking of the highs from 1961, 1962, 1966, 1967 and 1972 give normal people the willies. And the reasons are pretty straight forward. The cards were released later in the season and as young boys' fancies turned to football, basketball and hockey cards, etc., less of them were sold.
But in certain years (most notably to me, 1968 and 1969) the high numbers are really simple to come by. Why is that? Didn't Topps follow their traditional release patterns, quantities issued, and on and on? Or did they issue the cards sooner and in greater quantities, allowing everyone to grab a ton of them? Anyone have any specific insight into this phenomenon? Why were things different those years??
