T227 scarcity

I'm fortunate to own the four T227 baseball players - Cobb, Marquard, Baker and Bender. Cobb has a Miner's Extra back and the other three are Honest Long Cut.

Everything I've read about these cards says that the Miner's Extra back is more difficult.

Regarding Cobb specifically, over the past two years I've seen probably six of these cards at auction. If I remember correctly, four were Miner's Extra and two were HLC. Some may have been the same card come up multiple times as I don't track holder numbers.

What are y'alls thoughts on the relative difficulty of these backs and is the Cobb indeed more difficult with Miner's Extra?

But I have found that Miners Extra is quite a bit tougher than HLC.

In the recent issue of THE OLD CARDBOARD magazine there is a well written article on this 24 card set.
