The Chance, in my opinion, is one of the iconic cards in the whole set most probably due to the fact he only appeared in the '14 set, being replaced in '15 by Hal Chase. This important fact was not even mentioned in Goodwin's description, which I felt was a shocking omission. I believe, but am not sure, he was the only HOF'er dropped for the '15 set. His solid PSA 5 card #54 only fetched $2963. I wonder if this is a price trend starting to emerge for these popular cards?

He was the only HOFer dropped as the other 3 player were Callahan, Cashion and Lord.
I think the Chance went low, but I don't think 1915 prices are dropping. The 1914 CJ are all about set collectors and when 3-or 4 emerge at the same time, you get what we got in 2014 w/ prices calming down again recently. 1915s keep rising, look at the recent prices in auction on the Jacksons alone in the past few months. 1915s will always be the poor mans 1914s, but 1915s can attract many more collectors b/c you wont pay 4-figures for names like Cady, Pratt, Shotten, etc...
