Nice cards...
The Mono's are all very tough to find. It sounds like you have S74's that probably advertise Turkey Red Cigarettes--the fronts should be made of silk and the backs a thin parchment paper feel.
Some of your other key cards in this grouping are as follows...
-1909 Obak Gandil (Chick Gandil was one of the 8 1919 Black Sox and this card is in very high demand)
-1911 Obak Miller (SF) --There was a family member of his buying up all his cards for a while (not sure if they still are or not) but they were tough for that reason
-1911 Obak Weaver (Buck Weaver--see Gandil above, same reasoning, though the Gandil is harder to find)
-1911 Obak Ten Million (cool name and sort of a cult following for the card)
-1911 Obak Mensor (and Cooney) both of Jewish ancestry--their cards tend to sell for more than common due to this fact.
-The 150 backed Obaks are much tougher than the 175 versions, and sell for a premium.
