I'm sure you are familiar with #8 being lucky. I've been in buildings missing entire floor numbers; my coworker's building apartment numbers are skip numbered to avoid unlucky numbers. That could be a possibility.<br /><br />Without knowing anything about BBM's magazines, the skip numbering could also refer to other magazines issued not-quite under the Weekly Baseball title. Just a guess.<br /><br />I've seen a lot of Weekly Baseball promos at some card shops, and I'm curious what the earlier ones look like that I might not have seen yet. Many of what I've seen have been promos, even before 2010, and "non-memorabilia" cards. I'm looking forward to that list.<br /><br />And I saw those Nagashima mooks when they came out. I considered getting one for the cards but the price dissuaded me. I finally found a standard-sized Legend card too relatively recently, but the mini Georgia (coffee) set issued in 2010 used the design as a subset.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.com
