JimBTed,
The only issue I would question is that 75% of the O'Haras and Demmitts are in sets of 520+. I agree that it is set collectors who are primarily interested in these cards, but if others are like me, they had these cards long before they hit 520. I think I got my O'Hara when I had about 100 T206s and picked up the Demmitt when I was about halfway there (approx. 250). My point is that I think many O'Haras and Demmitts are in collections of far less than 520. And if I am correct in this presumption, then the other numbers do not necessariy follow. Of course we are all speculating. I appreciate your analysis and attempt at extrapolating the number of sets in somewhat systematic manner. I don't think our guesses are too far apart. Maybe somewhere in between - say, approximately 400 - is closer to the real #.
