Very nice group, Anthony.
And I agree, on your view of where they are at today, in the hobby. I still need to get a type but have been in no big hurry. Of course, I had one in my first collection...but the few that are so common, are so common, I haven't felt the need to nab one yet.

I have 15 different, including 1 pre find (Oakes), there is another set on the registry with 16 different, with Plank being the only pre find card, from what I can tell. We each have 2 the other doesn't have.
On a lot of the cards, especially Weaver and Jennings, the prices are lower than 20-25 years ago. I think there was a lot of demand from type collectors in the decade after the find, but that seems to have tapered off. The super rare ones still command a high price, but those seem to be sitting deep in collections and I haven't seen anything major come up since REA's sale in 2018.
Since Leon says every thread needs a card......
