gary nucherenoI concur with Paul about Wagner throwing being the toughest hall of famer. In my opinion the grading services do give an insight into scarcity, more so than personal experience.Once
I own a card I have a tendency not to pay any attention to
whether or not or how often others are being offered. I got
a Walsh early on and so I never looked for another. Walsh was easy for me but it is a very tough card and impossible
to find in really nice condition. In the 70's serious
collectors circulated their wantlists among other serious collectors. When Lew Lipsett referred to the Mitchell cin
as the carmel equivalent of a t206 Wagner every collector
put it on their wantlist. Have a bunch come out of the woodwork since then? I don't think so. imo the Mitchell is very tough, but the pop reports show that it is not the toughest card in the set. We have had poll's on T206 sets.
How about a poll on e90-1 sets and maybe a poll on a card like Mitchell?
