I believe that the font used in the "Cin" of some of the different Hoblitzell differs depending on the back.

There is another T205 Hoblitzell on eBay with a Sovereign back and it looks to have the same font:

It is also interesting to note that the Hoblitzell variations are not entirely dependent upon their backs. For example, fkw has a Polar Bear with "1908 Cin." and there is another Polar Bear on eBay with only "1908," though they may be from different factories.

Obviously, the "no stats" is the rarest, but what is the second toughest?
