Default assessing vintage card scarcity

Posted By: barrysloate

I'm glad the discussion on this topic has been lively and informative. Another interesting point I've thought about but only slightly related is that in very rare sets, such as Yum Yum, G & B, Four Base Hits, etc. there were probably a number of cards issued of which not a single example survived. There are about a dozen Four Base Hits known, but for all we know may twenty, thirty, or fifty players were originally part of the set. Perhaps there is documentation buried in some long lost file which if found would list the cards printed at the time of issue. That would really be a great find. But it's probable that there are at least some players in each of these rare sets that will be unaccounted for forever.
