dennisi think that star players would be in worse condition as they would be handled more than a common. when i bought cards as a kid i looked at and handled the stars much more than commons. how many kids in the 50's carried around or proudly displayed mantles and mays compared to jim greengrass and solly hemus? same would be true 50 or 100 years earlier. kings 7.9% hall vs 9% common goudey seems to support this and you got to figure people "grade" stars much more than commons.
