I have been working on it for 10 years. I doubt that I will ever complete it, but that is OK. I enjoy working on it and I have learned a lot over the years, almost all of which came from fellow board members who know this set much better than I ever will.

From what I understand, most of the more common cards come from the initial printing in 1914. The 1915 cards, for the most part, are more difficult to find, and the last printing in 1916 contains most of the most difficult cards. Some of the 1916's have players with team designations for teams that they never played with.

I do not think it's correct to assume that all Pirate backs are not factory cut. The few out there have come from a few different sources. The REA AUT's from a few years back may have been ever so slightly cut down top or bottom, perhaps not, probably due to being slightly diamond cut. There are oversize large examples out there, most of which are factory cut and exhibit the diamond cut.
