1911 Baseball Bat cards....rare?

They’re tough cards, however, if you’re looking for just a single of any player and of any of the three types, finding one won’t present too much of a challenge. Over the past year I have seen at least 20 different examples sell. I believe them to be much easier to find than similar cards of the era (J=k Candy, Orange Borders, etc).

The set has some really neat poses of players that aren’t seen in too many issues. Collin’s pose is the same as his E125, Brown’s pose is the same as his E93, and Speaker’s pose is the same as his T3 Turkey Red. From what I’ve seen, the types with the orange border and red background usually depict cruder images than those seen on the other two types.
