For the sake of keeping things in perspective, should modern sets be considered? In recent years, the card companies have taken manufactured scarcity to the extreme...1 of 1's.
They produce cards which differ in some way from the base card. They might have a different color scheme, a die-cut shape, etc. Occasionally, they have inserted actual printing plates into packs. Then they stamp the card with 1/1...as in the only one in existence. And they will do this for all 100 players (or however many cards there are in the set.) So there are dozens (hundreds, maybe...it seems like they put five or ten of these damn things out every year) of modern sets which contain nothing but one-of-a-kind examples. Back to my original question...should they be considered in this discussion?
