Where can I find that info on which ones are tough to come by?
I notice, when looking on E-Bay, cards I have never seen before get a lot of bids and are gobbled up quickly, but that is all I have to go by.

I still think that would be a bit inflated (as the last cards issued in each year were less novel and I bet they got destroyed less), but it would be a better proxy.

I have been told to get all my high numbers graded quite a few times, regardless of the condition, and I guess I likely should?

Interesting. Even way back then collectors were snapping up the high series numbers.
Thanks for posting that up.
