Only a few cards in the set that are true SP's with 3 known backs, cycle being one, could command a Cycle premium. As much as I hadinvested in them it pains me to say that Cycles are commons

Second the reason the Suffered variation is scarce is because people bought them up and are holding them. Supply and demand. Unlike the Hobby name correct no cin variation that is the second scarecest of the 4. Yet people continue to pay more for the name incorrect variation that is quite common and should be about 1/2 what they sell for. It's all perception.

I think you would be fine at the point you are at. No real need to chace another card with the same player on it just for the back.

Hi Andrew,

Wilhelm Suffered is only found with Hassan and Cycle(rarely) backs
Wilhelm Suffe ed is found with Piedmont Fact 25 backs
Both cards are tough, but suffered is in a completely different league than suffe ed...

I haven't heard about anyone hoarding them, but anythings possible...

Be well Brian
