As for Jack Johnson, he is the Mickey Mantle of the era for collectors. Scarcity doesn't really play a role in his cards, there is just a ton of demand.

Compare the pop reports between T226 and other Louisiana issues of the period, including T211. Mid grade cards are more common for T226 than similar sets. It is not a perfect data set, but there sure seem to be a higher percentage of nice copies out there than is normal.
