Steve,
It's been awhile since I worked on the Atlantic Oil set. I don't ever expect to find the Etchebarren card. I've never seen it either.
While I agree examples of the others are easy to find, if you take into account condition and all the variations, putting together an Orioles set gets a little tougher.
All the cards come with the printed name on front in either black or gray. The backs come with either a Playball picture or contest rules.
This leaves Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson with 4 different front/back combos.

The Boog Powell has two different croppings of the photo on front. I haven't confirmed that Boog comes in all the variations, but potentially could have eight different front/back combos. Condition is always an issue. As you can see for those of us that like variations, the challenge is still there.
