That there are likely less than 10 examples around of each of the E107's?

Frank,
I think that is probably a fair assumption, but I do know of a couple cards that have more than a single digit population. So, while it is probably a fair estimate for most of the cards, a couple are a touch more "common" than others. On the other hand, some are downright scarce and I'm not even sure that one of every single card has survived.
Some of the backs state "one of a hundred and fifty prominent baseball players" To my knowledge, there aren't 150 different players that have been found on cards. I think the number is 147, but couldn't swear to it - since I am largely focused on the HOFers instead of the entire set. There are team variations of a few players, so the number of known cards is more than 150, but the number of known players is not. The checklist is presumed to be complete with less than 150 players, though.

Editted to defer to Scott's knowledge of the set population since it far surpasses my own. (I didn't see his post before responding.)
