The W514 Bob Roth was made with two team names, INDIANS and YANKEES.
Anybody know which one is rarer? I have seen dealers claiming both ones are the rare one. Thanks for any help. This is the card I have:

I thought they both exist in similar quantities, but that there's an ever so slight bump on price for the "Yankees" version due to the fanaticism of Yankee fans. I did not think that either was particularly rare. But I can envision that if someone gathered together ALL of the W514s, and stacked all of each card in a pile, then each of the Roth stacks would not be as tall as the stack of a common card; same for Jennings, Maranville, and Bancroft, each of whom is depicted with two teams. So for the 4 players depicted with multiple teams, a slight price bump may well be in order, Roth is the only non-HOFer of the four. I wouldn't use the term rare; but I can see how some dealers trying to sell one might.

Hey DaBig--
Why did you take a bite out of Roth before you had him graded? LOL!
