as for the curb, i think this card has the perfect storm brewing for it:
a. iconic player
b. scandal
c. hof debate banter every year, ie rose
d. just shy of the 100 year mark of said series
e. just rare enough
f. and aesthetics
and would totally agree on the too-scarce factor. the hunt is all part of it, but has to be a somewhat achievable goal for most to commit it to their radar!

Other than (d) , that "perfect storm" has been present for nearly 100 years.
