The other labels for that catalog number are also difficult to find, but not as much as the black-label, dog on top. Another example 447-0641 black-label, dog on top! Very difficult to find.

It is in my opinion, that the guides have this one wrong, and a hand full of others too. With all of those pressings, you would think this is more readily available.

Variations such as player poses and colors were discovered and cataloged for the very first time. The quality and quantity of the collection was spectacular. A major card dealer flew to the source and was amazed at the find. Sometime ago, I read an article on the Internet about a large collection of baseball cards from the turn of the 20th century that was recently discovered.
