The NY Catching card comes up for sale less because it's a more difficult card. While there might be a small increase in Boston submissions due to the price guide's suggestion that the Boston card is harder, it doesn't account for why there are so many less NY catching cards submitted compared to other T206 commons. PSA shows 154 graded Boston, 106 NY Catching, and 149 NY Batting. If NY catching was an easy card it would have a pop in line of the NY Batting. In fact with only 106 graded it puts the NY Catching card down near the Southern League cards in the numbers that have been graded. There's certainly a great incentive to submit all the Southern League cards you can so when a common major league card is around a lot of the Southern League cards in pop then it should indicate that it's a harder card than the price guide suggests. Maybe the only reason the Boston sells for more is that the guide tells you it's okay to pay more.
