<<Perhaps when they designed the subsequent series they needed 6 cards to fill out the printing sheet, they reached back and chose these 6 subjects (just as you said....due to their popularity).>>
Sounds very plausible.
<<Speaking about popularity, why not include a Tinker card in this group of super-prints, instead of two Chase cards?>>
Let's assume that I am right about the six superprints being originally intended as 350-only subjects. Tinker does NOT appear in the 350-only series, thus ATC could not have chosen him as a superprint! Instead, two cards of the locally popular Prince Hal were selected for this honor.
