Harry Wallace (HW)I think that this is a tough comparison to make. I think that you see more Mother's cards on the market because people mainly only want one as a type card. Most people that are working on D303 sets do not care what back they have.
T208 Fireside cards more sought after by collectors and they rarely offer them for sale.
There are at least three T208 sets known to exist. The Copeland sale had one and referenced another. Plus, I know of a set that was completed in the last five years.
No complete set of D303 Mother's exists. No one knows how many cards are in a Mother's set. New cards are being discovered to this day. Beside's the last group in the Mastro's sale, does anybody know of a significant collection (10 or more) of Mother's?
While many of the D303 Mother's cards are the only known examples, there are at least three examples known of each T208 Fireside.
Just some food for thought.
