I haven't got a clue. He was playing regularly during the entire process of the Old Judge set and he was quite popular in the Pittsburgh area because he was a star there during the International Association days first, before rejoining them later. You would assume that Pittsburgh fans wanted his card. He also lived in town and had a business as well.
Maybe the reason is just somebody collected them and they were either lost for a reason or sit in an old house undiscovered. Plenty of old houses in Pittsburgh. I'm sure some have been in the same family since back then, with an attic that has never fully been searched
