Default Question about Heitman's "The Monster"

Posted By: ty_cobb

I do not believe the scarcities (as you've grouped them)
to be correct. The Kleinow you mentioned is (to me) a
very common card. Other scarcities do not appear on your
list?

Mr. Heitman can still be reached by email today. I don't
mean to diminish his countless hours of work in any way,
but 1) He's stated in the past that corrections he made
never made it into the book and 2) discoveries in the 90s
especially of known front/back combos that he never saw
have since been discovered.

If I were to do the next big five I'd say
Elberfeld
Smith
Lundgren
Dahlen
G. Brown (Chicago not Washington, and for a good reason)
