Jim,
I think you have hit the nail on the head with Piedmont 42. It is easier to acquire than certain backs that are more plentiful because 1) buyers and sellers sometimes do not distinguish it from Piedmont 460/25 and 2) it is a mere factory variation, not a brand variation.
So, in a list of "scarcity" I think it ranks with Carolina Brights, but in a list of "acquisition difficulty" I agree with you that it ranks lower.
