Salutations
While it's true that most Salutations are easy to find (though not quite as easy if you care about unmarked backs), there are a few that are quite difficult.
Of course, you'd never guess what they are by looking at SMR prices. Excluding Williams, DiMaggio and the like, whose cards are always costly because they're legendary HOFers, SMR somehow would have us believe that Jimmie Foxx is a difficult card, as is Glenn Russell. Not so -- they're even easy to find on eBay. But I've seen two Rizzos in years of looking, and the same number of Hartnetts and Averills. SMR has been wrong about all of these cards for years.
But the set is still entertaining to chase, and vey rewarding to complete.
