Vic Willis played for Pittsburgh in the 1909 season and in St Louis in 2010. His Portrait card is in a Pittsburgh uniform, and his throwing and w/ bat cards are in a St Louis Uniform.

Here are my question(s):

How/why does the Portrait exist in the 350 series?
Are the 350 series more rare than the 150 series, considering he was in St. Louis in 1910?
Are there any portraits in a 460 or 350-460 series?
Are there any throwing or batting fronts in 150 series?

Thanks for the help.

Ryan

There are some great resources to answer your questions.

Scot Reader's "Inside T206" is a great place to start and your first couple questions might pertain to Section G which is the Distribution timeline and details when certain series were release, etc:

The other great resource that might be helpful in answering the rest of your questions is the T206 White Borders Master Spreadsheet. Here you will find a comprehensive checklist that breaks down every card, details if its a portrait, batting, field pose and which back and series the card can be found in:

Hope this helps!
