Default No one have ever completed it

As Barry noted, one collector is down to one team variation. Another needs 8 or 9, the person currently in third needs approx. 15, next in line needs 19.

While there are only 147 subjects currently catalogued, it appears after 100+ years the other 3 may or may not exist of the "series of 150 different". Of note is the fact that these cards were probably issued in 1903 and 1904 from the various team changes, along with the fact that many of the players exhibit different text typesetting of the name and team. Further they may or may not have all been issued by Breisch-Williams, it is highly possible that the blank backs and even the 150's without the overprint were used by different vendors??
