I believe they were only distributed to players and executives as well as a few newspapers etc., which would point to maybe 100 sets being made at the time with perhaps 10-20 or so known examples of each player existing today. Just a theory but I have been sort of studying the photos/cards for about ten years.

They are rare and undervalued in my opinion, GLWS

Tyvm for the expertise Rhys! Very interesting to learn something new about the hobby. Especially when it bridges multiple areas.
