This #1 card in Ex/Mt to Near Mint condition should command a higher price than a 52T Pafko.
And, the main reason for this is that the cardboard stock that Goudey printed their 1st series
cards was inferior to the subsequent series in their 1933 issue. And, this poor grade cardboard
has not stood the test of time too well. Therefore, compound that fact with the #1 card factor
and you have a card (Bengough) that is rarely seen in better than Ex condition.

I have seen 52T Pafko cards in Nr Mt condition, but never a Bengough card.
