Tim Newcombon the scarcity of the Series 1 cards (Wagner, Cobb, etc.) with the 300 Subjects back. I have seen a fair number of them, but I don't think I'd call them common. However, as Matt says, population reports are useless because the grading companies have never really paid much attention to the M116 backs they grade (actually, there's no particular reason they should).
One clarification: I think the ads do show that McQuillan and McConnell (and Bates and Seymour) were given new teams at almost the same point when Series 19-24 were first issued. Since 19-24 have the 300 Subjects back, it seems reasonable to assume that these changed cards also have that back-- but I don't think we can assume it without further research. Hence my original question to the board. still hoping to hear from a few more lucky owners of these cards....
