Don't try to figure out why Witt, Landrum, or any other normally available common in the 1962 Topps
set are garnering such ridiculous $$$$. All it is, is a figment of those who "live & die" by POP #'s.

These cards are perfect examples of how the POP #'s tend mislead when it comes to COMMON cards,
whether they are 1962 Topps or T206's. Common sense will tell anyone who cares to apply it.....why
such cards have Low POP #'s. Most Collectors/Investors don't give a crap for many of the commons
in a given set. The majority of the cards they submit for grading are stars and HOFers. The commons
fall by the wayside....hence, a lot of them invariably have Low POP's. But, that does NOT really make
them scarce.

I've put together 2 complete 1962 Topps sets....one in Ex condition, and a 2nd one in NrMt condition.
And, I never found any card in this set that scarce or unavailable that I would pay "big bucks" for it.
