Only because at one time I collected all things Walter Johnson did I become aware of a "parallel universe" of coins--many 100% silver--of all-time great baseball players that have been issued over the past few decades. I call it a parallel universe because, other than the examples I would snag from time to time on Ebay or at shows, I literally never saw them before and never after. I don't know what explains their scarcity, perhaps there is just zero demand and therefore no market for them, but I've always thought they were way cool and make a nifty little sub-collection.
