Combined sgc and psa pop report
I completed this recently. I combined the psa and sgc population reports. I included the Charlie sheen collection as well as the psa qualifiers into the total number for each grade. Here are the top five scarcest cards:
Hick cady - 16
Burt shotten - 17
Ray Keating - 18
Beals Becker - 18
Del Pratt - 19
I believe there has been a surge in the number of Pratts to hit the market recently which now makes it the fifth rarest card. Yet it remains highly desirable because it only shows up in the 1914 set. In that case, it may still be the most sought after CJ card aside from the 14 Matty.
The Low pop on the Becker explains the recent valuation on the card sold in the love of the game.
31 cards or 21% of the set have a combined pop at or below 25. I predict that These cards will reach astronomical levels in the next year+ due to the influx of new 14 CJ collectors in the market. In fact each of the cards that have been commented upon in recent posts as having inexplicably high prices paid on them all fall into this 21%.
I also thought it was interesting to note that the card with the highest total population was Cobb with 106. This is 28% higher than the card with the next highest pop (Johnson)!!! That is simply incredible and shows just how popular Cobb was in this era even among the other elites.
