There's probably closer to 150-200 total out there, including all of the different backs. One knowledgeable dealer I respected re his estimates of surviving populations of key cards gave a figure of 200 in the early to mid-'90's. The price is so high because the demand is enormous for each and every example, and why not? It is the real (read major league) rookie of the Babe, after all.

Best wishes re your collecting,
