I don't think they were mass produced so much, just the Brits were really good at saving/collecting their cards back then.

Cards were for kids in the U.S., so they were treated as such.

In Great Britain they were collected by adults, just as they collected stamps and coins...and then cared for as such.

On the cricket side, Donald Bradman cards can be pretty popular. He's basically the Babe Ruth of the Cricket world. Not sure anybody else would be considered more then a common, no matter how good they might have been.
