Wow - NICE. I'm assuming you just purchased the Hornsby from a grouping that was recently on eBay? If so, I got two of them as well - a very nice Red Faber and Pie Traynor. The cards that were sold were very clean and pretty sharp.

Anyway, my experience (I'm collecting the 1928 W502s) is that the 1931s are much more scarce than the 1928s. The 1928s are pretty scarce as well, and have as many as 18 different back variations (although at this point I have only counted seven that I can document as existing).

There are two different checklists between the two sets; you can obtain them both from the Standard Catalog, I believe. There is some commonality between the players in both sets but the card numbers are different. I don't know enough about the 1931s to know if any of the pictures are the same.
