Set Notes
Excerpt
The cards in this 598-card set measure 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". There are the same number of cards as in the 1965 set. Once again, the seventh series cards (523 to 598) are considered more difficult to obtain than the cards of any other series in the set. Within this last series there are 43 cards that were printed in lesser quantities than the other cards in the series; these shorter-printed cards are marked by SP in the Beckett checklists. Among other ways, cards were issued in five-card nickel wax packs and in 12-card dime cello packs which came 36 packs to a box.
