T206 Demmitt and O'Hara (St Louis variations)
Rick
Although every survey indicates that the availability of these two cards are the same, I agree with you that Demmitt
appears to be more available. My experience in collecting (or selling) these 2 cards tells me that Demmitt is somewhat
more available than O'Hara.
I like Frank Wakefield's explanation for this...."when BB player's Major League careers end, kids threw away their cards".
Demmitt returned to the Major Lges. after a stint with Montreal. Plus he was pictured on subsequent T-cards.
O'Hara's BB career ended with Toronto (Eastern Lge.).
Anyhow, that's my best answer. Perhaps, some one else here has a better explanation ?
