Default Relative Rarity of T205 Matty with Diff. Ad Brands

Posted By: J Levine

Brian,
Wow, I thought I was obsessed! I actually have hard data on 6,123 different T205s...I do have data on 3,000 additional cards but that was before I seriously tracked the cards as individual cards. My database is probably comprised of 95% or higher unique T205 cards. I actually use a grade sheet with notes (grade, apperance, grading company, distinguishing marks, etc.) to make sure I try not to repeat the same card (except in the sales data). I started keeping scans but it was just to memory and time consuming and gave up rather quickly. I am super anal about this set. Not sure how you break your cards down.

I think the data is interesting. I was surprised when I looked and saw less Piedmont for me.

Looking at the two tables I think that with a statistical variation it is not horrible. I do believe that there are more Polar Bears out there than Piedmonts but not by much.

Maybe you and I can compare notes on front back combos. I am missing a few that I believe exist but just have not seen a scan of.

I do not own the Broadleaf Matty. Wish I did. I do own several Broadleaf cards, two Hindu, and three blank back. Still looking for a beat up Drum to add to the collection.
