especially if the cards aren't that easy to find anyhow and they aren't on too many cards to begin with. My cousin is on 3 cards: 1928 Exhibit, 1927 York Caramel E211 and 1951 Ringside. I have the only E211 I've ever seen of him. I'd never bother with a 1951 Ringside hoard; I could likely amass them into three figures and still see more, so I am not worried about not having a ready supply of them (as it is I have a nice one slabbed, a lower grade one that fits my raw set and an autographed one I recently acquired, but short of an uncut two-card panel or an ad panel version, I'm done). But with tough cards like Obaks or Zeenuts or other prewar cards, I suppose the thinking is that there can't be that many out there and your extended family might want them some day, so you grab what you can. At least that's how I rationalized my purchase of a duplicate 1928 Exhibit in a color and back combo I already had.
