The first two are always lumped into the 1934 set due to the numbering, but it's clear the high numbers came out in '36. I've always felt they should be separate sets.

I totally agree. The high numbers should be considered a separate set! Should we start a petition? How many signatures do we need? Who do we send it to? Does it have to go to a vote???

Here's how my set started a few years ago. All of them have the backs, although some of them have been opened. I prefer the backs to be still attached, although I can understand getting them cheap with the back missing.

Excuse my while I drool... wow! I’m not a set builder but I can see why you would want to be looking at yours.

Makes sense to me. Plus the 1936 cards had their own insert, the Rabbit Maranville "How To..." booklets.
