Perhaps I am naïve but I have to believe that the population numbers aren't necessarily reflective of the quantity of individual cards out there. I have a decent Sam Crawford from this set that I have held onto for more than 20 years. I believe it would grade a 3-4. This would raise the number of Crawford cards on this list to 52. Does anyone else here have any 1914 CJs that have never been graded? I'm curious how much we could raise the numbers in this combined population report?

I guess I was answering in relation to the rare no names of the set like cady, shotten, pratt, etc. Crawford is a HOF but none of those others are so who held onto them? They would of had to been collected in the day and I think that explains part of the huge difference in major HOFer pop numbers. I, also, have never paid to have a card graded.
