For the Recruit/Napoleon class cards, the Standard Catalog is all over the board. Some of the tougher ones are priced accordingly but others are listed as straight commons. So, to answer Tony's question...you could use the Catalog VERY generally to get a relative idea of some of the tough ones but I would not be under the illusion that most of the cards that are similarly priced are truly of similar values.

Have to admit that I've not looked at the Std catalog since the second edition (1991?) so I'm not really well qualified to comment directly, but I think *your* comments are right on, Marc.
The varying levels of difficulty in both classes of cards makes generalization hard. Adding grade to the mix just makes it worse.
