Our minds are on the same track.....my 1st observation that these POP reports
are not really reflective of the relative scarcity of cards in a given set were
based on studying the T206 reports. Not only the absolute POP # for a particular
card; but, mis-leading column which lists how many (if any) cards are Graded higher.

Back in the early 1980's (when Caramel cards were not as popular and well understood)
articles were comparing the E90-1 Mike Mitchell as the Wagner of the Candy Card sets.
Therefore, a "myth" surrounding this card was born. And, you could acquire this card for
a mere $200 back in 1982. There was one BB card mag. that provided advice on BB card
investing and Mitchell was listed in the top 5. I wish I would have taken that author's
advice and bought more of them back then. I now could have sold them and offset the
losses on my Lucent stock.
Paul.....to a certain degree this card has been "hyped" over the years and perhaps you
are right, Mitchell isn't as tough to find when compared to Duffy, Keeler (NY Giants),
Speaker, Bill Sweeney and Walsh.
