Default Ty Cobb Back Scarcity vs. Brown Old Mill Back Scarcity

With 10 Ty Cobb backs being graded by PSA & SGC and perhaps a few more that possibly could be raw or be graded by BVG, I want to get opinions on whether the Ty Cobb backs are actually more rare than the Brown Old Mill SL backs. I am aware of 3 to 4 Brown Old Mills that I have seen (if memory serves correctly) over the last 10 years. Obviously there could be more in private hands, but can anyone here substantiate that they have seen more than 10-12 Brown old mills ? If not, wouldn't it be safe to say that Brown Old Mills (SL) would be the rarer of the 2 backs between Ty Cobb reverse & Brown OM ?

The Brown OM's I am aware/seen are Bernhard, Helm, Revelle, & possibly Kiernan.

Does anyone else know of more ? Can you substantiate more than 10 Brown OM's ? If not, shouldn't we consider the Brown OM (SL) the rarer of the 2 backs ? (Ty Cobb reverse)
