But these are caricatures of actual players, whereas other Tobin and trade issues are generic, or at least not noted as to what (if any) player they were based on.
And logically it makes sense why the B&W were printed in much lesser quantities. It wasn't much earlier where trade cards and color printing were produced on such an economically accessible scale. And the masses liked the color. So even though it was cheaper for B&W cards, advertisers actually got more "bang for their buck" using color.
FWIW, I'm interested in off-condition copies of these.
