Marc,
I've been collecting this set since 2007 and I'm more than halfway complete on a low grade master set. Most of what I've learned regarding this set has come from Joshua, Shawn, the Engles (Matt/Turner). They are very knowledgeable when it comes to T205's. The Gray with stats comes with both Sovereign and Piedmont backs. I have both examples and seem to come up for auction quite often. Although the Gray is a tough card to find, I've found that there are 8 other cards that I would say are harder to find:
1. Hoblitzell "no stats" - only found with Hassan.
2. Wilhelm "suffered" - found with Hassan & Cycle
3. Mathewson - Cycle
4. Wilhelm "suffe ed" - found with Piedmont
5. Wallace "one line of 1910"
6. Moran "stray line"
7. Addie Joss
8. Hoblitzell "name correct no cin"
Just my opinion from what I've seen from my journey. What I found difficult to find may have been easier for someone else depending on when they started collecting.
