Although I wasn't a contributing submitter this year, I do know I had to pay through the teeth for my Duffy. For some reason they have dried up. A HOFer with a suit instead of a unie, but not in the scarce series. Maybe non-set collectors are stocking up on the HOFers in the set?
Now that I have completed 99% of the set, I can tell you that there are varying degrees of scarcity among the tough 300 back series cards and some are unbelievably tough, even if you have the money. Covaleskie and "the other" Donovan, no not Wild Bill who has a pastel and a blue background card, but Patsy, are killers, along with Dessau, Sailor Stroud, Erwin, etc.
By the way, I sent Patsy in to SGC and carefully spelled out it was Patsy (in his suit also) and of course it came back Bill Donovan. GRRRRRRR.
