Turner are they all Pied 25's. That's the only back confirmed unless I missed some.

Great research Andrew et al.....Thanks for sharing!!

Great Research. Based on your earlier discussions, I also did a deep dive on the series analysis. Although a longer response is needed, my first point would be to suggest removing the Shean and Graham from the initial list of SP's. I think it's easier to think in "classes" rather than SP/non SPs...while total populations may be similar, the 14 other sps are virtually identical in terms of back appearance and populations, whereas Shean and Graham are clearly different, though total populations might be similar.

For the record, in my categorization, I have Shean in Graham in the same class as players like Austin, Bates and Becker...it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on including Shean and Graham with that group.

I think much of this research is spot on...I would only advise that just because a card is found with only three (or four backs) like Krause does not necessarily mean they are single prints. We know there were multiple printing in the same factory for the same back (the Hoblitzell and Moran variations confirm that). We also know that the print runs for different backs (Hindu vs. Piedmont 25) were vastly different. Overall, I think the research is great and does seem to jive with much of what I have seen...but that Krause list is not an SP list. When you start hoarding the set like I have, Krause, Schafer, Wallace white cap, are all pretty common and easy to find.

Just my opinion.

Great stuff about my favorite set. Keep up the good work. I'm drooling over that yellow elephant Collins.

Ciotte was confirmed by a friend of mine this morning. That makes 20 total confirmed Hindus!!

Andrew - I noticed that you don't list the pink Walsh in your list of print variations. Do you consider that a true variation like the others, or more of a one-off error? I can't remember what the pop is on that card...has more than one been confirmed?
