Where did all of the Carolina Brights go?

As I continue my hopeless search for the KC Lundgren w/ CB back I am finding fewer and fewer CB backs in general. Eight years ago they were still tough to find, but nothing like today.

Are they less available now then they were 8 years ago, or am I just paying more attention and late to the game?

I think generally speaking, the upper tier rare backs are being traded a little less these days, and held in permanent collections, as people find the front/back combos they need. They used to be all over eBay, now you can barely find backs tuffer than Hindu on eBay (there's an occasional CB or Lenox, but not like years ago). Keep your eye on auction houses, they seem to have them more than eBay.

Here's my CB...

In the past CB's were somewhat underrated as compared to other backs of similar rarity...I never understood why as to me they are some of the most attractive backs out there.

Agree with mike in that thay are bought and hoarded/held these days.

Considering people consider EPDG/OM backs tough...CB's are much tougher in most cases.

The Lundy may be my true white whale. I agree that the design is attractive.

I didn't see a Carolina Brights in the BST auction, but there is a Red Murray in Goodwin's auction that opened up this morning.

I think they might be the most underrated back. Brian W has an awesome
collection of CB's that he has shown here before. This is my only CB.
