Colgan’s Chips
I’m considering collecting the 1909 Colgan’s Chips set. My question is there a list of the hardest to easiest to obtain including the variant’s in the set? What are the top 15 hardest cards to obtain? And please show off your Chips if you don’t mind?

I only collected the Jersey City Skeeters team set from the Colgan's issue.
I can't remember if these are all the exact ones I own or if it is a mix of images that are from my collection and elsewhere, but these are the 5 JC cards in the set. . |
The round discs or the square proofs?

Nothing to add about set info, but here’s my Hooks round/square combo

Round disc

Serious question, because I know nothing about these issues :
Are the square proofs supposed to be from prior to them being cut round? They don't seem big enough. |
Below is what I, many years ago, culled from a list that was created, I believe, by J. Spanos. This list was regarding the relative difficulty in the E254 Colgan's Chips set. The creator of the list identified cards with difficulties ranging from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most difficult. From this listing I made note of cards with a difficulty identification of either '4' or '5'.
Cards Identified with a '4' difficulty rating: Austin - Browns Babb - Norfolk Beaumiller Carr - Utica Alphonzo 'Lefty' Davis - St. Paul Demmett - Montreal Doolin Dunn Elberfield - Washington Ferguson Flaherty - Kansas City Flick - Naps Freck - Baltimore Gardner - Highlanders Getz - Indianapolis Grimshaw - Louisville Hartzell - Highlanders Jordon - Atlanta Jordon - Louisville Kaiser Killian - Tigers Lakoff LaPorte - Browns Lindaman - Indianapolis Lindaman - Louisville Bris Lord - Athletics Manser - Rochester McIntyre - White Sox Bill Moriarity - Louisville Bill Moriarity - Omaha Mullen Mullin Nelson - Browns Peitz - Louisville Pickering - Louisville Pickering - Minneapolis Pickering - Omaha Purtell - Red Sox Tom Reilly - Louisville Ritchey Rowan - Reds Sallee Schardt - Birmingham Seabaugh - profile Seabaugh - facing forward Seymour - Baltimore Smith - Atlanta Spade - Newark Stahl Stansberry Taylor Waddell - Newark Weisman Wiesman Woodruff - Indianapolis Cards identified with a '5' difficulty rating: Covaleskie - Chattanooga Flick - Toledo Hoffman Hulswitt - Chattanooga Murch - Chattanooga Orth - Indianapolis Paskert - Phillies Rowan - Phillies Schirm - Birmingham Sparks - Richmond Titus Waddell - Minneapolis Brian |

OP didn't specify whether they were limiting themselves to the E254 set or collecting any/all Colgan's so here is a E270 Red Border Colgan example.
