P2 Difficulty Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Tim Rhinehart

I have about 80 P2's and I know that the most difficult pins are comprised mostly of commons. I have the Lew Lipset encyclopedia's and it lists the following as difficult:

Archer LL
Bransfield
Bresnahan LL
Collins LL
Cobb LL
Cree
Donovan
Grant
Hauser
Tom Jones *
Killian
Matthewson LL
Needham
Rowan *
Scanlon *
Turner *
Wilson (NY) *
Warhop *



I know that the last pin TBob grabbed was the Pelty which I am in the process of picking up along with others indicated. Can any of the P2 collectors chime in with with any other pins that they rarely see (so I can nab if I happen to need it). Suggs is not on this list, I had not seen one and just sold on Ebay However, it was a PSA8 for $156. The majority of my pickups have been nongraded. Not only are the PSA pins overpriced, but they seem to suffer from a great deal of grading inconsistancy.
I just received a Bender and Tom Jones that were PSA 5's. The Bender was sharp while the Jones suffered from a great deal of toning (no biggie because I only paid $20 for the Jones).
Thanks in advance.
