Can TCDB please add the 1941 PlayBall Paper Version to their site?

With cardboard being a critical commodity leading up to the US involvement in World War II, Play Ball issued a 24 card paper version of their 1941 baseball set. The "cards" were issued in two 12-card sheets. A scarce test issue to begin with, these cards were more fragile than their cardboard counterparts, which has resulted in their growing increasingly difficult to find.

This was the last major set (along with Goudey & Double Play) before WWII put a near halt on baseball card production, causing a big gap between 1942-1946/7.
