Richie Rich Fun Laces, generic backer variant [new guest exhibit]
I am back after a much-needed week off. I almost passed today’s exhibit photo by. It is LJN‘s Fun Laces that we saw back in March of 2018, but on a generic backing card. Why would Keith Manegre send me this photo? Then I looked closer, and saw that the laces have the Richie Rich logo and images! My first thought was that LJN had run out of backing cards before they ran out of laces, but then I noticed that the two sets had different product numbers. The Richie Rich backing card was 2104, and the generic backing card is 2102. Does this mean they sold both versions simultaneously? If I travel back to 1981, I will try to find out. In the meantime, here’s today’s exhibit:
