Hi Guys,

Kevin, thanks for mentioning that.

I need to eventually revise the D304 theories and content based on a couple more years of looking at which front/back combos have come out of the woodwork.

The economy has done a few interesting things to these cards. Obviously it's drove down the prices, but it has also made some of the tougher backs available.

Even though the prices are down overall, they can still be hard to grab when they come available unless they're in low grade condition.



A couple of observations over the last couple of years:

I still see very few Fleischmann backed cards and Weber/Martens. I think there was a group of Martens lately, but that's a rare event in the grand scheme of things.

Certain players tend to show up more, but many players and cards with blocked out fronts (especially Herzog and Crandall) are seldom seen.

At this point, I've now documented less Fleischmann cards (different players and overall number of examples) then Martens.

I've documented the least amount of Weber cards.

I still haven't documented all of the players with General Baking backs due to player's careers ending.

Still haven't documented all 25 subjects with Fleischmann backs even though they exist according to the backs.

It's a good time to collect D304s!


Rob
