Greg EcklundBill,
I wouldn't say that they are common, but BF2's probably have a somewhat more limited audience since some collectors don't really consider them "cards" in the same way that some don't consider the P2 pins to be cards either. I wanted to bid on the Herzog in the auction because mine needs to be upgraded, but totally flaked out and forgot to register until it was too late.
The Joe Gedeon (incorrectly called Harry Joe Judge in the description) didn't sell because it was hideously overgraded. Grading a BF2 with stitch marks around the edges is as NM is like grading a Turkey Red with a pinhole NM - a pin hole or a number of needle marks just can't be ignored when grading something, whether cardboard or felt.
With the Hooper, that starting bid was just way too high - I would expect a Hooper on Ebay to sell in the $250-$300 range, and it probably would have sold in Goodwin if it was opened at $100.
