Also, the large Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, Bob Lemke worked on assembling these, they were published by Krause; it has a good listing of the cards.
And Bert Sugar's The Sports Collector's Bible lists them, there were 4 editions of the book, try you get the 4th edition, and if not, go for the 3rd. He lists the each of the 8 series separately, and then in each series the cards are bunched by team. That'd be helpful if you're really after those hometown cards.
Dodging your query about short-prints, generally the cards of series 8 and 6 are the least plentiful, with series 7 close behind. Series 1 and 2 cards can eventually be tracked down.
Doc, I hope that helps. What's your home town?

Montgomery here! I will be sure to track down that info, it seems like there are three or four the Montgomery players that just dont pop up over the past twenty years or more, though I haven't deep dived auction house histories. I was curious if that was the case with every team's players in that series or across the T210 issue.
Thanks so much!
