Question: Topps Vault - Circa

I am looking for some information. I have been grabbing the images from the Topps Vault folders since July of 2011. For those of you who do that and have been doing it for several years, you know that those folders do not remain up indefinitely.

I grab Baseball, Football and Basketball and have created cards using the images for all three including a brand new set for 1967 Football that I will be posting soon.

My question is this: How long have images been accessible from the site? I am wondering of course whether I have them all. If someone here has been gathering them since before then, I would like you to send me a private message. Specifically for this inquiry right now, I am mainly interested in Football and Basketball. I am pretty certain that this site has done a good job of posting many of the scarce images from this source so I probably have most of the baseball. Out of 751 players for 1967 NFL (including those playing for multiple teams), I have found images (some black and white and some from wrong teams) for all but 61.

Another question; this one for Merkle. You've been to Topps and have gone through some of their stock. I've noticed while doing this 1967 Football project that many of the star players have very few Topps Vault images. Would that be because Topps most likely already sold all of them prior to uploading to that site? And do you know when they first began posting to that site?

Thanks guys. Sorry to interrupt the baseball subject; I just don't know where there might be a football forum like this to make my inquiry.
