Judge DredAccording to hobby references there are 5 Bid McPhee poses for the N172 set so it really shouldn't be so scarce. He was inducted into the HOF in 2000. Most people probably hadn't even heard of Bid McPhee prior to that and most people could probably care less about having his card (up to that point).
Jay Miller indicated that there were 3 of his cards in the Oregon Find. This is a great indicator of scarcity because the Oregon Find was so random and it had a great variety of cards. Three cards of the same player in such a vast collection "could" mean that the scarcity is only a perception and as stated in this thread there are a few people that need to have it for their N172 HOF collections. I would guess that we'll see more of these come out of the wood work. I wouldn't say we are going to see dozens of them but with the prices paid being so high it may coax a few people to offer them up for auction. If enough of them show up it may influence the price lower.
