Scott - as mentioned, the two different backs are known. Every card in the 1907 set is known with both backs, with the exception of the Cobb fielding which I have only seen with the biography in smaller print, which also has the stamp box that reads:
Foreign, Two
Cents
AFAIK, the Dietsche postcards were first announced on October 1, 1907 in newspaper ads. One of the ads specifically states that there are 15 cards in the full set. There is a photo of a display dated October 05, 1907 picturing a set of 15 with a Cobb fielding, so I have always assumed that that version was issued first.
