But supposedly, there was a shortage of Fred Wenz cards (easy 1971 Topps card) in the Philadelphia area as some collector who had a problem of some sort with him went and tried to buy up every card of his.

In my pre-Beckett days, I tried to buy as many cards (reasonably priced) as Joe Cunningham as possible. Joe is the only major leaguer from my home town, and if I ever opened up a store there, I wanted to have a good stock. The only good thing that came out of that venture was Ernie Montella, with a type card of each card Cunningham was on, created a very nice display for me.
