Joe D.In my opinion - based on my own collecting experience, and based on opinions I have received from other T200 set collectors (and going by the pop reports)...
The Boston Nationals is the toughest in the set.
The NY Americans is a close second - but not quite as tough (I have heard some arguments to the contrary - so an argument can be made).
The next two toughest are the two St. Louis cards.
The rest of the set is fairly easy to come by.
In response to this - BobC mentioned:
about the NY Americans:.... "I have one in a SGC 50. IMHO it is equally if not more difficult than your Boston Nationals. Also I do not seem to see many Chicago Cubs in nicer condition. Your take on that?"
So there you have it. Both cards might be neck and neck as far as difficulty goes. But, it is a set worthy of discussion - and I stand by my assertion - so I figured I would start the thread.
Bob also brings up the great point of card condition (particularly of the Cubs).
To me - they all seem tough to find in nice condition - I have not noticed the Cubs as being special in that regard.
