Default caramel cards easiest/toughest?

"I would beg to differ on this. E93s in ex or lower are not extraordinarily tough, but ex/mt or above is very hard."

After reading you response to my quote, I went to PSA and SGC to check their pop report. Pop reports aren't perfect as we all know due to crossovers, etc. but it is a telling set of numbers below in relation to my comment that highgrade(I said ex in my first post)Dockman e92's are more difficult to find.

Numbers below show how many have been graded at a certain level
SGC Grade 60 70 80 84 86 88 92 96

E92 Dockman 56 15 14 2 1 1 0 0 Total in EX or higher= 89

E93 87 30 31 25 3 7 1 4 Total in EX or higher= 188

With SGC, there are more E93's graded in EX that ALL of the e92 Dockmans COMBINED.



PSA Grade 5 6 7 8 9

E92 Dockman 77 49 38 20 1 Total in EX or higher = 185

E93 136 83 30 20 9 Total in EX or higher = 278

For fun, E95 132 66 32 9 0 Total in EX or higher = 239

Also.....

"of the known examples in ex/mt or above have come from three small finds in the last 20 years and they are mostly (90%) concentrated in a couple of sets that won't be available for sale any time soon. "

Same goes for E92 Dockman. Check out the PSA registry for E92. They have a hoard of almost all existing 7 and highers.

Summary, to date there have been a total of 466 E93 verified/certified EX or better cards and only 274 E92 Dokman verified/certified in EX condition. If not as many exist then by deduction we must say they are harder to find.
