Excellent article-thanks Jon for sharing it.

Any possibility they never made it to market and were merely a "dry run" and only done in house? I could see that and then if marketed they would have added the factory information to the finished product. Whatever testing they were doing ended or failed and then whatever was left could have been sold under the table.

Interesting that Mono is not in quotes; I recall Ted Z's insight into the use of same on Coupon and another brand or two while trademark was being secured.

What a difference 100 years makes in the business world. Two clicks and you have a wealth of information about any recent company in the world these days!

Very nice article and great replies, too. I am interested in the actresses in this set. I have my doubts that there are 175 actress cards since these are seldom seen. It might be that there are really 25 baseball players and 25 actresses and the 200 number might not be valid at all, like T205 with 400 subjects listed. The actresses are unidentified on the cards, too, making it even more difficult to pin down a number on them. I'm going to start a picture checklist of these on my Moviecard.com website. I have 6 to start with. If anyone has any more scans, send them over and I'll post them so maybe we can see what is out there for the actresses. I'm not even sure these are really actresses since they are unidentified.
