Supply vs. Demand (Vintage Pre-1914 baseball)
 
Just sunday food for thought...

I guess we probably use the T206 as the metric... but there seems to be quite a few insanely rare sets and singles from 1895-1910, that dont hold the valuation they should ( at least based on HOF'r vs Population) Some cards that appear between population reports (SGC and PSA) are in the 2 digits (20-200) total...

overlooked? lack of sentiment? availablity = desire

what you guys think?

(just one example - https://www.psacard.com/pop/baseball...-caramel/36061 )

Demand not rarity equals value.

My favorite Bill Huggins quote "the only thing rarer than this item is a buyer for it."

I've always heard "The only thing rarer than a baseball signed by Bob Feller... is a baseball that wasn't."
