Welcome to the board. The three E102 cards you mention are indeed the tough ones in the set, so much so that I think there are relatively few complete sets out there compared to the other E92 family of cards. And it has been like this for decades. One of these toughies only seem to pop up every 2 or 3 years, and there is always competition. They are definitely the cards that will keep a non-aggressive card set completer like myself from ever finishing the E102 set.
Good luck, and welcome aboard! Another resource you might check into is Lew Lipset's The Enyclopedia of Baseball Cards. The volume on E cards has a detailed write-up for each set (some info is outdated, but still indespensible), and if you get the combined volume you also get great info on the T and Nineteenth century sets too.
