were introduced. Therefore, very few Tolstoi cards of him were printed.
Other tough Dodger cards that I know of......
Bergen (catch)..... CYCLE 460 / LENOX / PD #42
Burch (fielding).... AB 460 / LENOX / UZIT
Hummel.............. CYCLE 460 / OLD MILL / UZIT
Marshall.............. BL 350
Happy Smith........ AB 460 / UZIT

I don't think this is true Ted. I do think you're right about the Tolstoi printing
timeline though. From information we do have I think American Lithograph
started the printing of the Tolstoi backs just before they stopped printing
the print group 2 subjects and that's why many of them are difficult to find
with Tolstoi Backs.
