Brian, there are four known examples of Eddie Collins. Strangely, despite multiples of all second series cards, there is only one confirmed Cobb and none of Max Carey.
Paul, I believe the entire set was distributed, as I have seen ads for five or six of the series, not counting the last one, and Zach Wheat exists from the last series. Strange that they didn't survive. I wonder if some brothers each were given a set of the second series and that explains why the mini-finds were all of the same series--they came from the same household--as there seems little reason for one kid to want 2-5 of the same card.
