There are none known. One possible explanation would be that the R310s were also issued with gum products through Gum, Inc-- Chicago "Baseball Gum", and that the Wrigley family/Cubs owners as competitors somehow blocked or threatened action over use of the team logos etc. The team was simply too full of stars for the omission to be caused by oversight, particularly as the R310s emanated in Chicago.
EDITED TO ADD: I should say General Gum, Inc. of Chicago, not to be confused with the the PA company called Gum Inc. that also produced cards.
