But how many upgraded ones do you see? We know how many are graded, but we don't know how many have been regraded. I think that it is one of the most regraded cards in the hobby. The value of the card plus the value added by a bump make the cost of regrading small.
The 1952 high numbers are scarce and went to very few parts of the country. I just don't see there being many unknown copies out there and I doubt that there are many high graded ones upgraded.
