Every series didn't have 110 cards in it.<br /><br /><a href="http://1968topps.blogspot.com/2009/10/no-i-said-100-threads-per-inch.html" rel="nofollow">(I'm in the minority that actually like the 1968 cards)</a>Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.com
