As for Carousel, I've got about 10 I think, I have no idea how many Carousel backs are out there, but they don't come up often, and frequently the same backs come up. I suspect many of the blank back ones were supposed to get a Carousel stamp but never did.

I think I had 18 diff Brooks Robinson Carousel backs (unfortunatly sold them 10+ years ago). A good resource for a list of those would be to track down Mets collector Dave Berman from NY. He had a pretty comprehensive list. His contact info shows up in SCD every once in a while.
Collecting in the 80's I found the Saga back to be most difficult for me with the MSA ad back second. Being in the great lakes region, I would occasionally find Red Barn in "misc" or $1.00 boxes from Wisconsin dealers, but agree that those are one of the toughest. For me, collecting MSA discs was one of the really fun parts of my Brooks Robinson collection.
