It’s the momma theory! A couple of years ago you had brought up a point and a good one about the 1994 superstar samplers. They were on the list as individual cards (Bowman, Finest, and Stadium Club) as well as the Topp’s package that they come from. That is the first time I gave the momma theory any thought. Another one would be the Hamburger Helper card. As a collector do you want the card or the unopened box of Hamburger helper sitting on a shelf? It’s really up to the collector and their preferences and maybe storage room. I have plenty of space and have several uncut sheets along with magazines with cards in them through out our home. That is because I enjoy knowing where the card came from that is in my collection as I always have the card ( correct size ) in my collection books. I enjoy seeing and collecting the Pintos of Juan’s as they are unique as they were created to be a collectable not an after thought. ( oddballs ) Having a larger proof, panel, magazine or sheet is much like having a back door press plate. They have to exist to make the final product but nothing more then the momma to create the end product. I enjoy having the pictures added to the card, coin or whatever to show the family tree but everyone knows that everything has a momma!
