I have 22 on my checklist (copied from various sources) but there seems to be no indication that Tinker or Wagner have ever been verified... bringing it down to the 20 you stated.
I have been able to find scans of 19 out of 20. I have read that there is verification that Schaeffer does exist but I have not been able to find a scan. Do you happen to have a scan of the Schaeffer or do you know for a fact that it does exist?

Any theory on why the names were changed on some cards to an incorrect name?

- Billy Meyer (Fred Jacklitsch pictured)
- Ray Morgan (Mickey Doolan pictured)
- Buck Weaver (Joe Tinker pictured)
The 48 total cards theory makes sense. All the known cards do mirror the E106 set as you mentioned (with the exception of some names being canged). Tango Eggs came out a year after the E106 set correct? I guess it's possible that they used the same printing plates.
