Before I looked, I thought (as you did) that there might be a different story at SGC - but now I don't think so entirely.
Again, with Honus Wagner, SGC pop report shows:
E98 - 52 graded, with 7 at a grade of NM 7 or better
'15 CJ - 50 graded, with 13 at a grade of NM 7 or better
M116 - 58 graded, with 1 at a grade of NM 7 or better
E93 - 63 graded, with 3 at a grade of NM 7 or better
E92 Dockman fielding - about 45 graded (tough to say exactly because some flips did not specify the pose)
With SGC, the only real standout difference I saw was with E95 - there are a lot more E95, but the huge bulk of them are low-grade.
E95 - 108 graded, with 2 at a grade of NM 7 - none higher (and 89 of the 108 were graded VG or lower!)
Cheers,
Blair

Blair, a ton of E98's were just crossed over from PSA, hence the new high grades SGC never had before. So, no new cards were found. I've crossed at least 20 over through the years myself. I see your point in the "pop reports", but it's not reality. They are very tough to find, and the ones available soon(BSF), will be expensive when they are made available. Just look on ebay...less than 20 total E98's taking out the National promos, with 150+ for both E93/E95's and 300+ Cracker Jacks. I know the BSF dilutes the set to a point, but maybe it's also made it more accessible and popular as well. I think the jury is still out on all points of the set IMO.
