Dabbuu - we've traded and talked, and our lists are pretty similar. From personal experience, my toughest were probably Bauman, Mogridge, Cunningham, Ragan, Hoff, Donlin, Kuhn, and Blanding. I still need Miller, Lowdermilk, and Lewis but I've seen those for sale more frequently than the others I mentioned.

I lucked into some very tough ones. A few years ago, I bought a Houser that had been sitting on eBay for months. It had a punch hole and sold for something like $40. Since then, I've barely seen the card. So it's very tough but just wasn't one of my hardest ones. Same with Saier, which I got pretty early but also seems to show up infrequently.

I honestly think there are many that you can lump together. I don't know that, say, Cunningham is any tougher than Adams. Or Woodburn vs. White. Or Ryan vs. McCarthy. Or ... you get the idea. To some degree, I think it's splitting hairs.

Some are definitely harder than others. For my money, Donlin is way up there. But I personally think there's Lewis No Emblem that's clearly ahead and then a bunch of other contenders. It's just tough to say which of those, say, ten contenders, if any, are definitely harder to find than the others.
