D311 Pacific Coast Biscuit question

[goudey1933]

As of yesterday I started the long journey on a D311 set.I thought others would appreciate the info. gained from my question so I placed it here in the public forum.Why are certain players so rare in that set?Is it just coincidental?

Thanks,
Scott

Congrats Scott! It's a fun set to go after and I wish you all the best. There's no doing this one quickly as you and I have discussed, but it is an excellent long term project and you're doing good to get a couple toughies knocked off the list right at the start :)

I know you and I have discussed the tougher players a bit so I won't rehash all that. I definitely have a "top 10 toughest cards" list in mind with this set :) I will say that it definitely seems that players from some of the teams (Oakland, Vernon) are more readily available than others.

For what it's worth, I think this is a nice time to start the set as well. Prices have been down the past couple years and I can certainly confirm that there's quite a few available right now so you don't have to look too hard to find cards you can use :) A couple of the bigger collectors have completed their sets in the past year or so and a third is just 2 cards away so that might cut down on your competition as well.

Best of luck to you, Scott!

Thanks again for your help.

The colors in the set are fantastic. It is a doable set as Brian says and the competition isn't too great so good deals can be had if you watch out.
