Brent - thank you for putting the answer to the inevitable question on the remaining card in your post-war rookie quest. I'm sure that's one helluva group of cards!

For those who are unfamiliar with the Surf books - they were made by Topps and sponsored by Surf laundry detergent. I'm not sure where or how they were distributed, but I'm guessing they were used as ballpark give-aways in the 1980s(?).
They measure about 6-1/2 by 9-1/2 and have thin glossy pages, with photos of all the cards made by Topps for that particular team each year from 1952 to the time of printing. Below are the 1986 (blue) and 1987 (red) Surf books for the Braves. I have other teams somewhere in my collection, but don't recall any going past 1987. I always found it interesting that they put a little section of tidbits near the back of the book - the "Collectors' Corner" - which listed errors and even current "list price" for various cards. At the very back of the book they had batting and pitching indexes with a career stat line for every player who'd been on the Topps cards for that particular team over the years.

Promos
Interesting Howard. Usually they are star cards. Why would someone use commons ? For credibility ?

He pulled them down
I contacted him and told him they were "created". Good for him - he ended them.
I have stopped trying to figure out why people do many of the things they do that make no sense to me - it just disturbs my sanity further.

Value of fakes
There was a discussion in an earlier thread about whether fakes themselves because of notoriety can obtain a collectible value. In addition to the the one I posted in this thread I have a couple of 89 Ripken fakes, one of the 59 Fleer Ted signs fakes and one of the Rose rookie fakes ( I keep the them all with my real ones in the corresponding sets with a label noting they are fakes)
