Sounds like you are asking what common is toughest to find in high grade? I don't think any common in low to mid grade can be considered tough. Just do an ebay search for any of them and they are there; just a matter of how much you are willing to pay for them.

Puttman seemed so tough I assumed he was an SL and shocked when found out he was not. And actually very cool looking card, one of most underrated for colors.

George Manion. Right now there are ZERO cards on eBay (usually the case).
Ed Foster. There are usually less than 2 cards available on eBay (same SGC 10 card for weeks).

Puttman? There are numerous examples available.

The Titus is the subject of price manipulation and is artificially rare.

agreed, especially on burch. Very tough card in higher grade

The toughest of all the common T206 cards excluding variations, I would say is Joe Doyle N.Y. & one toughest commons to get in high grade, PSA 5 or higher is Doc Adkins of Baltimore.

I will. A couple of N54 members have come out and said there is a collector that owns 100+ cards of John Titus.

Need I say more? Would you like a definition of price manipulation, supply and demand, and cornering the market?

[ullmandds]

Additionally there is another long time collector/dealer/auctioneer who has quite a hoard of shag cards...partially accounting for it's scarcity.

not so sure about the titus based on psa population reports...only 3 psa 7's and 1 psa 8, not to mention the prices they always bring in any auction
