Dixie Lids ice cream companies variations

Does anybody have a list of the different Dixie Lid ice cream companies from the 1952-1954 sets? I have lids from Borden's, Donlands, Schwens, Velda, Lemke, & Sealtest. What else is out there? Why are the 1952 Premiums so hard to find?

There must be at least a 100 or so different companies that made Dixie Lids. If you want to get into variations, there are different sizes, years, and flavors of ice cream. I wouldn't be surprised if there are 1000+ different back variations.

Here's a couple that sold recently: http://cgi.ebay.com/1953-Canadian-Dixie-Lid-Gene-Woodling-NY-Yankees_W0QQitemZ310060889020QQihZ021QQcategoryZ50 133QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Here's some that are fairly common (not sure if they are only 30's, 50's, or both):

Hoodsie
Cloverleaf
Aristocrat
Bryers
Meadow Gold
Kendlers

Here are a couple pictures from an Ebay auction last year. Different backs of the same player. Sorry I don't remember the year or player.
