Maybe it's just me, but I don't see many of the Lefty Grove cards readily available.
Perhaps the experts on the board can verify.

I wouldn't characterize any of these cards as "readily available" but that said I don't think the Grove is especially difficult.

My start on the set. (I think this whole set is relatively scarce.)

The only one that I have ever owned was a Bobby Jones. In a total 420 moment I sold it for some odd reason. It might be the only thing I have ever regretted selling, it still makes me sick thinking about it.

Since the front of the Lefty Grove card has already been shown, and everyone else is only showing the front of U.S. Caramels, I thought I'd show the back of the Grove U.S. Caramel.

It never gets old seeing "Lonaconing, MD" written on the back of Lefty's cards. Lonaconing, MD is a small town of about 1000 people. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that my hometown (also Lonaconing, MD) would have produced a Hall of Fame pitcher. And what's more, never would I have thought that he would be my cousin!

Erik:

To answer your question about Lefty Grove U.S. Caramels... When eBay first came onto the seen, about 1 or 2 Grove Caramels would show up every year. But I must say that over the past several years, I haven't seen too many. I have seen probably 1 or 2 in the past 3 or 4 years on eBay.

I've been looking for a nice Grove caramel for quite a time. The US Caramels come up, but no Lefty!

The pop report, to the extent that is an accurate barometer, shows about an average number of Groves relative to the rest of the set.
