Important to keep in mind when looking at lists is that there is a big difference between scarcity of finding ANY card from a particular issue vs. finding a particular instance of a card in a given issue. If issue A has 50 cards and issue B has 25, it might be twice as easy to find A card from issue A, but any given player found in both might be equal in terms of difficulty.

I did an analysis of the SGC+PSA pop reports about 6 months ago, that looked at per-player rarity (as you describe with your Hal Chase findings). Here were the results; the number in the parentheses is the average pop of each player's card, for the 10 or so players I looked at):

E95 (97)

E93 (60)
E90-1 (60)

E96 (43)
E98 (43)
E92 Dockman (43)
E102 (38)

E94 (32)

E103 (19)
E91C (18)
E101 (16)
E91B (16)
E91A (14)
E106 (12)

E92 Candy (8)
E105 (7)
E92 Cocoa (6)

E107 (4)
E104-III (3)
E92 Nadja (non St Louis) (3)
