Even worse is when someone posts something like an E121 Herpolsheimer's or an E92 Croft's Cocoa and compares it to a Wagner now they're bringing the back into consideration for that card but not the Wagner if you do that then you have to take into account Wagner's rarest back which is a Piedmont 150 with one graded example, yes I know it's trimmed but if it was correctly graded it would still be in the pop report as an A.
If you want to compare apples to apples all you have to do is take the numbers I posted pick a card from that set figure out what % of the set that card is and then what the % number of that card is graded.
Using DJ's red Cobb is a good example he was trying to say I was calling it scarcer than a Baltimore News because like a lot of people he was using the wrong comparison here's the apples to apples version of graded Cobb's
Red Cobb = 0.190% of the set
3743 graded = 0.932% of graded T206's

I see what you’re what you are saying now. Nothing wrong with this argument. I’m a little slow.
