E, Danielthe reason the card was produced in so few numbers was in fact exactly Ted's speculation re color conflict.......the card was meant to be printed with a red back to match the tin, but was instead inked in green and therefore pulled for a potential replacement.
Which never came - when the Ty Cobb tobacco product famously flopped as it tasted like roasted dung!
And thus, few cards and few tins.
Hmmmmm.
