I am blown away by the number of McLean cards in the pop lists! It was far and away the cardest card for me to find. Shean was the next toughest.
I didn't have any problem with the Howell, Bescher or Dougherty cards, maybe I was just lucky.
The two toughest HOFers, for me, without a doubt were Speaker and Walsh.

I'd rank my top 5 in toughness to find:

1) McLean
2) Shean
3) Speaker
4) Walsh
5) Leach throwing

Bob, it looks like your experience matches the posted population Reports pretty closely. I bet though, that someone could say they found McLean rather easy in their personal quest. That is what makes collecting interesting, everyone has had similar yet inherently unique experiences that shape our beliefs.

I agree with your list BTW
