I would ask - why? What's the point of knowing if there are exactly 37 or 46 of a particular card in existence?
What is of interest to me is relative rarity e.g. that Tris Speaker's V100 is tougher then his M116 and I think pop reports, as they are, are instructive in that conversation because, as a general principal, all the noise mentioned above (resubmissions, mistakes, raw cards, etc.) should apply uniformly across all issues. I acknowledge there are cases where that logic doesn't work (e.g. comparing the pop of Andy Pafko's 1952 Topps to his 1954 Topps would be meaningless).
