Interesting about the blank backs, I knew they are among the toughest but never really looked at the pop reports. I only have 8 cards from the E135-like series and 3 are blank, but I probably bought them because they aren't seen as often. One is a PSA-goof (I'm not starting a PSA bashing thing here!) as they apparently didn't know what to make of the item and thought they were grading a W575-1, regardless the card isn't "hand-cut" as they state on the flip.



Edited to add: While the pop reports seem to show the Boston Store's as being more common than Collins-McCarthy's (due to a far greater # total graded), a truer measure is by looking at the big stars, as many people across the board will be getting them graded--not simply from 1 or 2 sets or large accumulations being sent in by one or two individuals. The stats seem to show the two easier backs being roughly equal--which has actually been my experience with the sets, although the Boston Store's tend to show up in "groups."
