In fact, I know people that have been looking for one for 10-20+ years, with no luck. You aren't going to easily (or cheaply) find one. FYI
I appreciate your interest in my collecting interests. Your information regarding the scarcity of the Smith Rustlers silk only intensifies my desire to hunt it down and own it. In my opinion, despite it saying Rustlers, it is still a Brooklyn card with an incorrect team name and makes for a great talking point when sharing my collection with fellow collectors. I would think Boston collectors would be less interested in owning this than Brooklyn collectors.
