Cards some collectors think are rare, but are not.

I have found that certain "common" cards are still extremely difficult to find with desirable attributes. That can make the hunt fun and frustrating at the same time.

Not prewar, but I see about 20 ugly Bob Gibson and Tom Seaver rookie cards for every nice one. I think it's about the same with Bill Russell.

Just checking Fleabay and one of the first T206 to pop up was Bill Bradley
with Bat PSA 2.5. The header for the card, which isn't an auction at all but
a Buy It Now, states "rare Polar Bear backing". Nice card? Looks like it. Rare?
Not even close, only Piedmonts and SCaps (most versions) are more common.
I've got plenty of those and love the cards, but "rare" doesn't apply.

I thought we were going to talk about the T207 Lowdermilk or the E90-1 Mitchell...
