However, with Sanellas people don't hold them tightly or hoard them unlike, say, 33 Goudey Ruths (where PSA has graded 850-1000 of each of the 4 poses) - but there is a much higher demand and therefore higher prices in spite of the fact that there are a lot more of each graded Goudey Ruth than there are of each graded Sanella.

Thank you. That is what I was wondering. It just seemed strange to me so many are around in this country in such fine shape considering their origin was Weimar Germany during such a turbulent period. Assuming many fewer people collect them than the Goudey cards would help explain why you see them for sale so often.
