I know a couple of E90-1 collectors who have settled for putting the E92 Dockman McLean (same pose etc.) in their sets until they can find the E90-1 one.

Thanks for bringing up McLean....he was printed in the last series (1910) and his E90 card is indeed very tough. Expanding on my Ramly / American Caramel theory,
further comparison of the Ramly set roster indicates that they may have controlled the rights to several Cincinatti players......
Karger
Larry McLean
Mike Mitchell
And, as you well know these 3 guys are all very tough E90 cards; and, were printed in the last series (short-printed that is).
