Joe G.Julie, as I stated there is certainly a range of difficulty within some of the listed subsets. The script would be a good example as certain cards such as the Kelly cards with Chicago and Smiling Mickeys appear to be more common than the Spotted Ties or the Phenominal Smith etc. It is known from surviving uncut sheets that some of the script cards continued to be issued along with the later 1887 numbered cards while others likely did not.
I think it is also fair to say the top three subsets I listed are a fair margin more difficult than the remaining subsets.
