Default Not sure

Not sure how to research something like this... but I have been trying to put together a 1947 Tip Top Bread set. Of course a) it's an oddball set, b) it is really a group of 11 regional sets (one for each team).

Of the 163 cards, I have 143 total. I currently have 125 PSA graded cards but many of those are duplicates so I only have 77 unique PSA graded cards (I have a lot to grade should it ever open up again at a lower price point).

Currently, there are 836 graded 1947 Tip Tops meaning I currently own ~15% of all of the PSA graded cards. Many of the cards in the set only have a handful of graded copies (i.e. 2-5 total population)

I am not there yet, but I am guessing that would be a pretty obscure set. Give me a couple of years!

Also, note that there are a lot of ungraded Tip Tops running around out there. It is such an oddball, that most people don't bother to get their cards graded. If they would the population would be a lot higher.

There are a lot of sets out there that only have a small number of the total cards in the set ever have a card graded such as the Arte Y Depotes.


Just some random thoughts.
