T206 harder commons list please ?

Just started trying to put together T206 set going to start with 'commons ... is there a list for more difficult commons?
Are portraits always more money ?
If a player has a portrait only and another has an action card only which player is perceived to have been a better ballplayer?
Any tidbits will help .. bored of collecting 40s 50s 60s so here goes T206 I guess
Cheers
Bryan

Scott Reader's T206 Insider site lists the scarcity rank of each card in T206, with the most common card (Cobb red portrait) as #524, and the rarest card (Doyle NY Nat'l) as #1. Here is a link to a checklist of all the cards ranked by scarcity:

Scott's "Inside T206" is an invaluable resource if you're just getting into the set, as is T206resource.com.

Hi Bryan - Leaving things like the SP rarities of Doyle/Magie/St. Louis Demmitt/O'Hara out, the Elberfeld WAS Port./Dahlen Brooklyn are at the top. Dahlen's more like a star but I'm talking non-HOFs here.

The six horizontals are all more than standard commons, with Pelty being the priciest.

Durham, Titus, Tenney, Frank Smith CHI/BOS, Ames Hands at Chest, Adkins, Rhoades Arm Extended, and Puttman are well-known more expensive/tougher ones. Donlin Seated is often cited but PSA has actually graded significantly fewer of his fielding card. And of course all of the Southern Leaguers are mostly lightly-regarded players but not sold as commons.

There's a slew of probably a couple dozen others that could be cited as a little tougher than normal. That list above isn't comprehensive and I could even be leaving a bigger one out. Here are some older threads:
