The Three Bagger and Home Run backs were redeemable for baseballs so while I'm sure there was a diverse population of those backs at the time of printing the vast majority got turned in for a baseball. There's a reason that virtually all of the 3B and HR backs that have been found are Gehrig and Ruth -- they're most likely to have been kept despite the prize involved. Finding a "common" with one of those backs is like trying to get a wet noodle up a bobcat's ass in a telephone booth.
