Default Why Population Reports On Vintage Cards Is Misleading

pop reports are pure bunk August 19 2005, 2:45 PM



There are indeed the same number of cards on the sheets (excluding the sp's and dp's). However, many of the cards are positioned on the sheets such that they are consistently off-center. Many other cards have consistently bad print smudges. If a collector wants a well-centered 1969 topps basketball checklist, then he is going to need to pay a substantial premium. The pop report will show how many cards are 'gradeable' to the level that collectors will demand that card.
