Default How many W554 complete sets exist

I achieved a personal collecting milestone this week. With the help of a W554 member (thanks Brian), I bought the last card that I needed to complete the W554 set. That's my first pre-war set sorted.

For the past 2 years, I've been chasing W554s. Checking every auction that comes around and alerts in eBay. In that time, I've not seen that many W554s for sale. It got me wondering - how many other complete W554 sets are out there?

I know that the pop reports at the TPG aren't really an accurate proxy. After all, not many people want to spend the money to grade an Eddie Rommel W554. But the absence of other data points, it's all I have.

I've counted the Pop Reports across PSA, SGC and Beckett with the totals below. Only 243 W554s graded. (Personally, about half of my W554s aren't graded.)

If anyone was tempted to grade a W554 it would likely be the Ruth and the Gehrig cards, so I'm guessing those are closer to a full population. If I round up the numbers of Ruth/Gehrig W554s to...I dunno...50. Would that be a fair guestimate as to the total number of Ruth and Gehrig W554s out there?

I'd be interested to know how many members have a full count of W554 cards (or where you are on the journey).

(And because every thread needs a card....)
