In response to Tim ... quote taken off an internet article put out by justcollect

“As one story has it, Kashin's were released initially in a format that provided 100 different cards, but they apparently found them difficult to sell. They subsequently released 4 different retail boxes each containing 25 cards and printed with a specific color variation (Orange, Blue, Coral and Canary) and they added Babe Ruth, the most popular player in baseball, to the set and included him in each of the four retail boxes. To make room for Ruth in each of the boxes, Kashin removed four players from the issue and while they were issued previously, they became shortprints and did not make the checklists included on the reverse of each of the 4 retail boxes. The four players: Bump Hadley, Jesse Haines, Harry Seibold, and Phil Todt were replaced with Babe Ruth.”

If I attached this link properly, it takes you to an image of the box and its checklist for each box color variation..... You will see the Hadley, Todt, Haines, and Seiboldt are no longer on the checklists
