As rare as it gets. I have had them cataloged in my book for a while [I slid them into the book on the pretense that the Philippines were an American territory at the time of issue so they are an "American" issue]. I've seen three groups of these ever. The one in Legendary that was the Dreiers' was the largest ever. There were a handful on eBay some years ago of the workout cards. Also a single or two on eBay. Oddly there also was a wrapper offered several years ago. The explanation in the auction description seems likely. The Japanese kicked the hell out of the Philippines so I am not surprised that a freaking card issue was all but lost.
If anyone wants a type card I was the winner of the lot and have some I am wiling to sell or trade.
