My general guideline or desire is to try and acquire cards in a $20-50 price range with a Good or better grade.
I've noticed that there are quite a few commons that appear to be trending/getting tougher. TITUS/ITUS is more or less over. Pattee and Pelty appear to have simmered a bit as well. So without further needs to elaborate, in your opinion what are the current tough/pricey commons? And no I'm not talking about the ones we all know about! Some that I've been having trouble acquiring in my desired grade and price range leading to this discussion: Bull Durham (dammit this guy pitched in 9 games! who cares about the movie!!) Orval Overall (Hands at face) Orval Overall (Hands at waist) Puttman Ambrose (????? not sure why) Rube Dessau just to name a few!

Obviously Dahlen, Joe Doyle, and Magee portrait.
Mix of pricier/tougher I would say: Dummy Taylor Johnny Kling Tommy Leach, portrait Fred Merkle, especially the portrait Mike Powers Ed Reulbach with glove Wildfire Schulte front view Red Ames, hands at chest Obviously the 150 only club gets a premium. Others like Dummy, Kling, and Merkle have their fanclubs..... |

Doc Adkins Frank Smith Chicago & Boston variation Sherry Magee portrait (still premium w/o error) Ginger Beaumont Doc White portrait Mike Donlin Bill Burns (Black Sox) Any Cubs player (a lot of Cubs collectors collecting the glory years) Any 150 only series player |

Donlin fielding is tough, especially in VG condition.

Some of the portraits from the 150-350 series seem to be short-printed to some extent, and they always get a nice premium, especially in VG or better. Turner, Kling, Overall, and Lobert come to mind.
Some of the cards mentioned just get a premium because the player is more sought after than your run of the mill common. Guys like Merkle, Overall, Kling, Dahlen, Elberfield, Donlin, Magee are all stars of the set even though they aren't HOFers. |
