MVSNYCwell, all i know is that i have been looking for a nice condition smith, kleinow, lundgren, etc (i have owned them in lower grades), but they are tuff to find in general, let alone in mid-high grade...i was looking for demmitts & o'haras for years (of course i would see them pop up every now and then), but not in the best shape.
with the internet age, you can bring any card, no matter how rare, to the market...during the years i was collecting prior to the internet, you had to search high & low for many of these rarities mentioned here, now you see them often because collectors who have them can bring them market easier...
p.s. furthermore, they are ALL still commanding outrageous prices...so it can't just be a fluke
