Where are the tradeds in SMR?

Am I missing something? I'm thinking in particular about '74 tradeds but where are the others too?

Bump.
Come on. I can't be the first one to wonder this...

I'll speculate that there isn't enough buy/sell activity on those sets for them to derive prices from. IIRC the only significant card in the '74 TT set is Juan Marichal, no?

Stupid question: how were the 74 Traded cards distributed? Were they just randomly included in packs late in the season? If so, why aren't they considered part of the regular set?

ajw, the 1974 TT's are numbered separately from the regular set (1T - 44T) and have their own checklist, so that's probably why they are not considered part of the main set.

I don't know how they were distributed, but Beckett Baseball Plus states that the 1976 TT set was "included in all late packs". No such notation for 1974, but I would assume they were similar(?).

That's what I figured. As a kid, I always kinda liked the 74 set (though almost no one else does.) It has those strange traded cards and the ultra-strange Washington Nat'l cards that I wanted so bad. I'm sure that my being born in 1974 also played into my interest in the set. I had a beautiful Winfield rookie years and years ago. I wish I still had it...

The 74 cards were distrbuted the same way......."inserted in all packs towards the end of the production run."
