Default How Rare is Rare?

Posted By: leon

I guess first of all I should apologize for coming off as "smug". I think I caught a little bit of drift from Runscott...but that's ok...I still love him (or "you" as you are readin this Scott, I hate when folks talk about us like we aren't reading what they write)..... and the love is in a manly sort of way . I am already taken, sorry Scott. There has been much board debate about "unique" cards and are they really part of a set or not, and thus included on want lists etc... I think Glen has some good observations on that subject. Of course I am referring to the ACC #'d T231 Fans Cigarette card of Baker that I have. And as Glen readily admits there is, or has definitely been, another one known from the set. There are exactly 2 that have ever been known from the set. Unless there was MS Photoshop or something around 20 years ago then then the Bigbee Xerox copy represents the 2nd copy of a T231 known. I am mainly going over this for new board members as it's been discussed many times before. I am not aware of any other ACC catalogued set that has as few total "known" cards in it.....Your analysis way of thinking is great. Before the '70's, and all I did then, and some I still do now- to my brain, I might have been as calculating as you are.... take care
