I have been trying to learn as much as I can since I have been collecting t205 much more seriously lately. I do have some questions though.
1. Looking at data showing levels of the various backs in t205 show how common some backs are, but looking at the "master checklist" on t205resource shows that backs such as Hassan 649 (with 78 players confirmed) and Sweet Caporal Black 42 and 25 (with 59 and 58 players respectively) aren't on as many players. Does something like this indicate that these players were printed in much higher numbers than something like polar bear or piedmont 25?
2. Would I have a easier time finding cards of these players with other seemingly less common backs such as sovereign or were the amounts printed of these backs still lesser?
3. Minor leaguers were only printed with Hassan 649 or Polar Bear backs right, never with Hassan 30?

I have read quite a bit regarding some of the grouping of certain backs with other backs and find this extremely interesting. I have only begun to try and decipher some of the more complex issues of these wonderful little cardboard treasures.

Thanks to all here.
