Default Jeffries/Johnson 1910 E-UNC cards

I'm mostly a set collector, so while I focus on 1910 era stuff I've never gone for these two cards. Just ended up buying one in a lot that had another card I wanted in it, and casually tried to document over the last ~15 years as part of the era I focus on. Guess I have to buy a Jeffries now.

Still have not figured out much of anything about them. Presumably it's a 1910 issue from their hyped up July 4 battle. I've yet to see any actual evidence that "E-UNC" is even correct, though it does have the vague aesthetic of a caramel/candy issue of the period. Neither card is particularly difficult to find, nor very valuable. The Johnson doesn't seem to have really taken off (yet, hopefully it doesn't), selling for less than his superprinted T218 does now, though historically the reverse was true. Anyone know anything about these? Seen/have the original packaging, or anything known about their distribution method? Ever seen any non-sport or other subjects?
