Hi Brian! Speaking only for myself, if we rewrote the book today there would be several changes in the rarities section, with Browning being one. What you are experiencing is a function of how scarce some Old Judges really are. I can list quite a few cards that, baring Dave Levin’s two historic finds, I haven’t seen offered for sale in ten to fifteen years. Many of those are not popular players. Browning is both very scarce and very popular. If I am reading the pop reports correctly (the SGC pop report for Old Judges is a disaster) there are seven graded copies of Browning. I know of over ten raw copies. Putting those together, I would guess that there are roughly five copies of each pose in private collections, or about 25 copies total. That wouldn’t put the card in the rare class, but it would put it in the very scarce class, especially since I don’t see the cards in advanced collections coming to market any time soon.
