I don't think there are additional yet undiscovered scene cards, at least not if they haven't shown up thus far. The cards with the typset writing were 1927-1929 issues, judging from the fonts and designs used on the baseball and boxing issues (they can be dated because of certain team designations from baseball and copyright and fight records on the boxing cards). Entertainment cards of that format are plentiful and the two Grange cards from that issue have been known for years. They are pretty difficult to find, which tells me that they were not issued for very long relative to a card like Oliver Hardy or Gary Cooper, which you can darn near find every week on fleabay. The fact that no other Grange cards have appeared tells me there are likely no more in the entertainment issue. The PC back set, as far as I can tell, is strictly a 1925-26 issue, which are the two scarcest years of Exhibit issues. Other cards from that issue that I've been tracking for years are very, very hard to find--I'd say rare. For example, I have never seen another Jack Dempsey one besides the one I own and have only seen 2 Benny Leonards. Since the Grange is from that issue and is the first one anyone's seen, my somewhat educated guess is that the card is going to be very tough to find again.
