Default E90-1.....and the "Dirty Thirty" theory

Posted By: Ed Hans

I don't think that Pete has updated that list in quite some time. Though it is a useful classification, several cards on the list (most notably Donovan, Dooin, Lajoie, Fromme, and Overall) are overrated in terms of difficulty.

Ted and Tony,
As I said earlier, I think it's a mistake to think of a "last series" of 30 cards in terms of equal difficulty. To account for the vast disparity in scarcity, there must have been several distinct printings, perhaps composed of 2 or 3 30 card sheets, with various insertions and deletions along the way. The true "last series" probably consists of no more than 10-15 subjects.
