Donald JohnsonNice observations Leon; wonder how much the disparity is a function of availability on the market vs actual rarity as fkw noted. The fact that the lot on Mastro was a distinct lot of 18 (all different btw) solidifies those numbers significantly. No telling how many times the other 10-20 you observed were sold and resold in that timeframe. I would personally estimate the population of these Mother's Bread cards between 5 and 10 copies myself. Of the 18 examples sold in Mastro, probably a third were uncatalogged prior to this sale. But then again, who knows what fantastic collections are squirrelled away!
