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

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Hey Ted,

Do you think that Barry, Bliss, Hall, Summers, and Wiltse are common? I do. Scott, please explain why you think only Summers is common.


It seems nuts that if there are 27 of Barry graded, and 29 of Bliss; that from that someone would deduce that Barry and bliss are as rare as the Jerry Upp card (29) or as rare as Walsh (33), Karger (36) or Mike Mitchell (37). Mitchell is the toughest. I think Walsh is tougher than Karger. And I think Upp is tougher than Karger. But there's no way that I think Barry or Bliss are even close. What Ted says is right that someone will now list a Bliss card and mention its low pop report and it will sell much higher than it should.


Scott, do you have a copy of Mr. Lipset's second encyclopedia? I still think his thoughts on E90-1 are pretty close to reality.
