Default Perceived or Real? Scarcity of 1959 Fleer Williams Card #68

Posted By: peter chao

For heavily publicized cards like this one, it's necessary to take the population reports with a grain of salt. People are getting this card graded to sell because there is a huge demand for it.

Personally, #68 is the only card in the set that I'm interested in buying in the near future.

It is not surprising that more #68s have been graded than the other cards in the set.

This high demand may also explain the reason why more #68s are being sold. Dealers try to be ahead of the curve, they may have bought more #68s anticipating the price to go up.
When the prices stopped increasing, they decided to sell extra #68s that they may have accumulated.
