Dan, this issue is soooooo bad . . . that it's goooooood.
I love the R75s! This is one of the few sets where I'm not too hung up on condition; these gems get a waiver, as far as I am concerned. They are simply too tuff to find in ANY shape to worry about condition . . . that is, if one wants any chance of building a complete set. The mere existence of these, after all these years, seems to already be quite an achievement!
These are a struggle to collect . . . I'm 5 short of the set ( An Indian Trail; Chief Arrow; Jesse James Hold-Up; Montana Indians; Tom Mix -- help, please!!! ) and as you can imagine, they just don't come around all that often. Also have another 30-40 color variation cards that I treasure, as an adjunct to my set, but it appears that's just the tip of the iceberg. Remember this thread?

I will send scans. Also hope that this initiative might kick off a meeting of minds among those who are sitting on any dupes! Perhaps trigger some trading, some buying/selling.
