I was recently perusing The Sports Collectors Bible 3rd edition...released in 2009...and I was/am amazed at how much more we know today about vintage cards than we did then. Some Observations:

Back then:

-regarding d359's...Williams Baking isn't even mentioned as a possible back variation.
-regarding e94's...it wasn't known all fronts are available with all backs...and it lists black and white cards on heavy cardboard with a blank back...has anyone seen these?
-only 2 n167's known...connor and esterbrook.
-33 butter cream ruth not known to exist
-t213-3 not mentioned


I'm sure there are numerous others people can add.

And drum backed t206's sold for a .50-.75 premium...those were the days.
