For comparison sake, there are about twice as many Pirate backs graded as there are Type 2 Red Cross and there are less Type 1 Red Cross than Type 2's, so that should give you an idea of how rare these rascals are...

Also, a little further data from some research I did last year... I can only document on average 3 graded examples of each player in the Coupon Type 1 set. (Keep in mind this is graded examples from PSA, SGC & BVG) I am sure some raw Type 1's exist, but to put futher perspective on this, imagine if you were wanting a T206 Red Cobb, and there were only 3 or 4 examples ever graded. They would simply rarely come available for sale and prices would be intense. (I think I remember Leon crowing about how cheap he got his Type 1 Coupon Red Cobb last year, and I agree....) Something further to consider... How many Red Cobb Ty Cobb backs are there graded ? Now, take a peek at how many Red Cobb Type 1 Coupon's that are graded. The numbers are very interesting....
