Default Which So-Called Rarities are Overrated?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Other than the "big 4", certain cards in the T206 set are very simply tough because they were not printed with
as many Tobacco brands as most of the cards were, or did not appear in as many Series....and, these are....

Demmitt & O'Hara (St Louis versions)....only with Polar Bear backs

Donlin (hand on knees)....150-only Series with only Piedmont or Sweet Cap.

Larry Doyle (throw)....Virtually a 150-only card with a seldom seen Piedmont 350 back

Elberfeld (port-Wash.)....350-only Series with just Piedmont, Sweet Cap, and Old Mill

Kleinow (catch-Boston)....460-only Series with no Sovereign brand

Lundgren (Cubs)....150/350 Series with only Piedmont or EPDG backs

Smith (Chi & Bost)....460-only Series with no Sovereign brand

All 48 Southern Lgrs....printed only with Old Mill, Piedmont 350 backs
....and only 37 of these with with Hindu backs

There are others, but these certainly rank as "higher level tough cards" in this set.
