I've been collecting this set for almost 20 years, up to 15 different now, it's definitely been slow going. Prices, for the most part, have really come down and at least 9-10 different can be easily found, often in high grade.
Basically there was a find about '91 where the vast majority of these came from. There are tiers of scarcity, but Bescher and Jennings were about half of the find. Some of the others only had a few copies, and a couple are unique.
4 cards have surfaced that were not part of the find- both Cobbs, Plank and Oakes. They are all in pretty rough condition, and at least the Oakes and one of the Cobbs are number stamped on the back. I think these are the way they were issued at the time of release
I'm pretty convinced there were 48 in the set, but only 21 have surfaced so far. Who knows if another new one will pop up, let alone the remaining ones.
