After 30+ years in this hobby I have gotten to know many T206 collectors and dealers. Not as many
as 200, but a fair amount. And, I am by no means, a "high-profile" person in this hobby. Therefore,
by what I know and have seen over the years, I can extrapolate and say with certainty, that there
are many more than 200 (St Louis versions of) Demmitt and O'Hara in circulation. In my experience
in putting together 4 near complete (521, 520, 518 and 400+ cards) T206 sets, I must have seen, or
had at least 50 each of these two tough variations.

And, in 30 years of collecting, I can think of at least 60 guys I know or have helped "complete" their
T206 sets. And, if I can recall that many, then there must be at least 3 x that many sets out there.
