Not too familiar with the set, but why is the Smith card so tough?

Great looking card btw.

It is and I WOULD but it is a bit over my BB Card budget as a single dad with a mortgage. I wasn't serious about the Xmas gift I would love to have it but due to finances I collect T206 commons.

Love the passion Sands but I just dont think Ill ever understand why people go bonkers over faded Old Judge cards. If it doesnt have a bold image, I just see it as a scrap of old cardboard without thinking twice about it.

Default Matty connection....

He was not much of a Pitcher but:

He was credited with discovering Christy Mathewson in 1899.

I'd take that!

It's not that tough, but it is more popular than a common, likely due to his nickname. He has a portrait version in the set, which is very difficult to find, but just finding a card of him in general isn't tough compared to your average OJ.
