Trivia |
- This series features colorful artwork on card fronts and descriptions on card backs. Originally planned as a 180-card series, the artwork for cards 109-144 was "lost. Cards 145-180 were retrieved and reprinted in 1985.
The cards were printed in three 36-card batches, with cards 37-72 somewhat more scarce than the other numbers. Cards 164-167 and 170 look like pencil sketches, so it is possible that these cards were partially reconstructed from incomplete surviving material.
Card size is approximately 3-1/8" x 2-1/8: The 145-180 extension cards were printed on a grey card stock instead of the white stock of the initial set, and the copyright line is "James E. Trever, Paul Koch, G.C.S." instead of WTW Productions.
