Thanks for all the info on Murray. Very interesting stuff. It makes set collecting more fun when I learn about the careers of the players.
In general, and anecdotally, from collecting the set, 1914 cards are the most commonly found. For example, if you find a T213-2 Frank Chance, it will most likely be his New York Portrait. For some reason, his New York batting card is as hard to find, as his 1916 LA Port & Batting cards.
I think you are right that 1914 was the year that they printed the most cards. I know there are a few 1914 only cards that are tough, I'll see if I can find some examples, likely not printed as often as say, Cobb Red Port. I would not be surprised to see a miscut Ty Cobb, that shows both cards as Cobb. I'll keep looking for miscut T213-2's.
Also, Ted, I have been waiting for that Demmitt to go up in price for many years, but the Polar Bear back keeps going way up in price. Rob
