A search for Hornsby cards within active listings generates some examples, albeit very sparse compared to just about any other 20th Century player and those that are out there are primarily way overpriced (I know, no surprise there). So who is tougher to buy career contemporary cards of than Hornsby?
My thought is that advanced collectors and highly knowledgeable dealers realize that his stuff is so scarce and underpriced at the same time that rarely is anyone willing to part with any quality cards in hopes of future value escalating. Am I right or way off base here?

I sold a raw 1933 Goudey Hornsby #188 on eBay in December.
