Yes Todd, some of us do know there were multiple printings.

So you guys think they printed cards but had them sit around until AFTER more cards were printed with team updates and then distirbuted them???? That's ink, cardboard and warehouse space all going to waste. During war time??? That makes no sense to me.

Since we do know that that for at least one sponsor the set was issued as a full sheet is it possible the initial printing of the cards was intended to be distributed as full sheets but in war time made the premium too expensive for customers so they made the decision was made to go to single cards. They would then cut down the sheets they had and distribute as single cards along with the next printing that had the team changes, etc. and the cards were all distributed at the same time.....
