My dad will be age 94 this year and he remembers that no one could get one number ( #106), they opened pack after pack trying to find that number. This article indicates he wasn't the only one to be looking for #106. He never realized that it was issued the next year.

I've been doing a lot of research on this set, and this article was GOLD to me. There is at least one detail from Scharf's recollection that is not accurate though--understandable since he was remembering the set 37 years after the fact!
Scharf places Sheet 7 in early July. However, this sheet reflected Bob Smith's July 31 move from the Reds to the Braves (card 185). Three other July transactions including Hornsby are reflected as well. This ensures that Sheet 7 could not have been finalized until the beginning of August at the earliest. Allowing at least some time to print, cut, package, and distribute, I have to assume mid-August would be the very earliest these cards could have hit shelves. Such a revision probably has a ripple effect to the actual release of Sheet 8 as well.

How can a card (#106) be part of a set if it was issued the following year ? My dad now almost 97 years old , told me he was always missing certain #'s and always getting duplicates. When he returned from the war, he found out the cards had been throw out when he was gone.
