Default Perceived or Real? rarity of 1967 B Robby, 1970 Bench

I have no opinion on the 70T Bench....to new for me.

But, I will tell you about the 67T B Robby. Back in the very early 1980's when BB card price guides were new,
certain post-war cards were targeted as being very tough to find. B Robby was one of them. But, to anyone
who collected 67T's and was very familiar with this set, B Robby was not really a tough Hi# as Bunning, Col-
avito, Norm Cash, Piersall, Shannon, Red Sox team card, and about 1/2 dozen other Hi#s. Back then most in
the hobby (unlike the present) were really into building sets. And, every 67T wantlist I saw would invariably
need these same Hi#s; but, seldom B Robby. Every dealer you went to would have one, two, or more BRobby
cards. Yet, the price on this card never really came down to reflect it's availability.
