Default How Rare Is Rare?

Posted By: bruce dorskind



I would agree that the 1912 Boston Garter cards are super rare-
only about 18 known in total

Jay's comments on Hancock Clothing also are accurate- and same
would apply to Fan Cigaretes - of which only two (bad shape)
are known.

Jay, as I recall won those cards on E Bay 4 or 5 years ago- I was
also bidding

The reason that I did not mention them was I was only including cards
for which I own a sample.

My goal is to obtain definitive population samples of these rare
items...much like we look to obtain definitiive population samples
of near extinct animals...

Comments welcome

Bruce
