Yes, definitely a large supply of Hubbell compared to all others. From what I can tell, nearly the entire Hubbell surplus is of the “thin stock” variety, while his “thick stock” card is just as rare as that of other players.
This suggests to me one of two things…
1. Thin Hubbell was the initial giveaway while other players, including thick Hubbell (?), came from the mail-in offer.
2. Thin Hubbell could have been reprinted by a Hobbyist well after 1932.
Have been scouring newspapers from the era to look for ads or articles referencing the schedules, but so far I’m drawing blanks.
