What's the easiest card in the set?

Josh if I am not mistaken i think Bridwell is a VERY abundant multi backed player in the T205 set. I have seen him with every normal back, and I own an AB, and cycle, and have seen him on Broadleaf and if I am not mistaken he was on a hindu I was offered sometime back.

In the E254 set Cobb & Wagner are especially easy. Also pretty common are the majority of the Giants, Pirates and Athletics players.

The N172's are interesting and it seems like the N.Y. guys are probably among the most common but there are soem pretty notable exceptions (like Connors' 1888 batting pose). If I had to pick a particulr player it would probably be California Brown, Danny Richardson, Tim Keefe and I'd throw John Clarkson in there as well.

In T216's I'd have to say Bresnahan is the easiest and comes up for sale the most frequently.

Andrew,
I agree...Bridwell is very easy and pops up alot.

National League players in the T205 set seem more readily available than American League. Also, Tigers seem a little harder to find than others but not by much.

Bridwell is available with Broadleaf brown/black, Cycle, Hassan 30/649, Piedmont 25/42, Polar Bear, Sovereign, and Sweet Cap. red. I have not confirmed him with an American Beauty or Hindu back yet (if you have one, drop me a scan of the back and I will add it to the list). That is a total of 10 backs.

Austin is confirmed with American Beauty black, broadleaf brown/black, cycle, drum, hassan 30/649, Honest Long Cut, Piedmont 25, Polar Bear, Sovereign, Sweet Cap red. That is a total of 12. I also feel that an Austin Piedmont fact. 42 will surface at some point but have not seen it yet.

If Bridwell can be confirmed with Hindu and American Beauty than I could be convinced that it is truly the king.

Andrew Jerome emailed me to let me know that the Pirate players were the easiest cards in the E90-2 set. Funny guy huh?

And likewise in the E90-3 set, I've had no trouble finding Cubs and White Sox.

Rhett is correct that Giants players are by far the easiest to find. Goodwin was based in NYC and the Giants were extremely popular and successful in 1887-89.
