An oddity about the availability of T3s is that 98 years ago someone would save coupons, then mail them in and ask for the player they wanted. So I'd think there are more stars out there than the other guys. That would be part of why card #114 is scarce. Still, the stars will command a deserved premium today. Cobb and Mathewson are beautiful cards.

Kling would have been requested by Cubs fans, and there were lots of Cubs fans back then. And there are lots of Cubs fans now, which would keep a bit of demand on the card. Few folks try for all of the T3s. Some settle for a type card, or players of one team.

The ad back that you have is seen less often than the numbered checklist back.

Nice card.
