Jim VBPeter,
Bengough was a back-up catcher with 1100 career AB's and less than 300 lifetime hits. He was out of the league when his 1933 Goudey card was released. (Of course, so was Lajoie.)
Pafko was a 5 time All-Star, at two different positions, who had almost 6300 AB's and close to 1800 hits.
What's comparable?
The only connection was that they happened to be #1 cards in important sets. Since lots of kids kept cards together, in numerical order, with rubber bands, the condition of their card suffered.
