I absolutely agree with Frank W. You cannot always rely on pop reports to be representative
of a particular card's availability, or scarcity.

A pop report that shows certain cards to be more available than others could be misleading,
since we do not know how many times that card was re-graded.
Conversely, cards like this Wagner are highly desirable and collectors will have a tendency to
keep them; therefore, reflecting less activity on the pop report.






Check-out the pop report on this 1st series E90-1 Wagner ?
I will bet there is more activity indicated on this one; as, I have always found this pose to be
much more available.





Set collectors' wantlists, thru-out the years, have been the true reflectors of the availability
and scarcity of certain BB cards. With respect to the E90-1 set....I am currently working on
completing a 2nd set. And, in the process (as on my 1st set of 120 cards) I am constantly
upgrading cards. So, I can tell you that I've seen many, many E90-1 cards. Furthermore, as
a dealer, I've seen many E90-1 wantlists; and therefore, I've developed a pretty darn good
feel for which cards are the real "toughies" in this set.
