Going through my cards, some interesting patterns emerge. I kind of wish we were keeping track of quantities of each variety to see if a broader production distribution would be revealed. I am surprisingly light on cards from 350-399. I have opened at least one full wax box of these (got it for Christmas 1988), and a variety of random wax and rack packs. I don't know that I ever opened a cello pack from 1989. But as I roll through certain runs of numbers, I will have a several in a row where I only have one variation, or maybe only two of them, but the same two variations for like 10 cards in a row.

Just finished adding all my variations and not much to add as far as anecdotal information because I didn't buy any from packs. All mine were from large lots that I purchased.

Awesome, Joshua. Doesn't really matter (as long as they weren't back-doored) where they came from. At this point, it's just document what exists. We're off to a good start. If mine weren't in 9 different places, it would be a lot easier!

I’ve got mine dig out I need to do a little sorting before I can start adding. Dan do you want everyone to mark what they have it is one x per box sufficient?

Just went through one of my stacks and filled in a bunch of the holes.

Yes, only one person needs to verify each version. One "X" is all I need (and it doesn't matter which one of us puts it in there). I just need to know it exists. I've only gone through a small amount. I'm hoping tomorrow is a slow day at work and I'll have the chance to go through mine.

I would like to help but I don't know where to put the X's you keep talking about.

Wow, a lot of you stayed up late (for me) sorting through one of those candidate sets for "ugliest of the decade" to fill in the boxes. But I have just gone through card-by-card of the FS I have. Every card has the "." and one * where applicable. Wondering if anyone else has a similar FS to see if this is the norm for those. It is a FS in a blue box with a GS set and 2 Spahn puzzles included.
Now to dig into my 13,500 traders.

Since, I'm not jumping in now, Can I get the heads up from you guys when the spreadsheet is taking shape? I have @ 6-7 monsters that I have shelved, once I see the SS, I might be able to verify the "iffies". LMK.
Oh and yes, any collectors that might want to fill in the gaps, chances are I have them.
