Andy Baran1.) I have no idea about the population reports
2.) The Thorpe was only issued in the M101-5 Series, therefore it is generally found with either a blank back, Famous & Barr, or Standard Biscuit back. Thorpe can not be found with most other back variations.
3.) The value of this card is based on the always high demand for Thorpe cards, as well as the high condition. This card is not particularly rare, but Thorpe only appears in a few vintage sets.
4.) The cards were actually produced in 1916, not 1915. No one knows how many were originally produced.
I hope this helps.
