Nice discussion. I think Lipset's original thoughts on scarcity for this set are holding true. He sold a complete set in November 2007 and it is interesting to see his breakdown of the lots with some based on rarity.

I did happen to win the 11 card lot in that auction and kept the Karger, Schlitzer and sold some of the others including the Young Cleveland which by the way is the only public sale I saw on this card in 2008. It was a fun lot to win.

I still do not understand the Wagner throwing pose and why such a low pop report if not printed in the last series? This maybe a dumb question but why are there two cards of Wagner? Maybe for the same reason there are 2 Gibson cards? It is interesting to note that the Gibson back view has roughly the same (18-21) pop as the Wagner throwing and we have the Gibson back view in the last series. Young, Clarke and Keeler make sense as to extra cards since they were traded or team corrected during the printing runs.

I really appreciate the knowledge coming forth.
