I don't think there's enough of an AWH vs. AWA discrepancy to qualify. That is, neither one of them is less than 1% of the E222 population.

I agree with your response re the E222s - I forgot about your "comprise less than 1% of the cataloged set's total population" stipulation.

Merchants Bakery is very rare but in the near future it won't make the list.

If you are going by percentage (less than 1% total population of cards) then you are going to have to add T205 Hindu, Drum, Broadleaf (both colors), American Beauty (both colors)...all appear on less than 1% of total T205s and are considered rare backs.

Hi Joshua, I *think* the OP is going for <1% AND total population of around 50 or less.

OK, regarding the T213-1.....I brought to your attention that they seldom appear (on any given day) on Ebay. This is your stated requirement for a back to qualify
as "rarest".
But, you dismissed this input of mine.

Now, regarding T205's......Joshua has brought to your attention your less than 1 % factor requirement for a back to qualify as "rarest".

Well, DITTO goes for the following T206 backs......

AMERICAN BEAUTY 460
BROAD LEAF 460
Carolina Brights
DRUM
red HINDU
LENOX
PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
UZIT

I have the data from a very large T206 survey which indicates that each of these backs are less than 1 % of the total T206 population.


So....are you now going to dismiss this requirement as you did for the T213-1 ? ?

I see what you mean, though I wouldn't expect any of them to sell at those prices. What would the asking price be if there was a Hornsby? $200,000? (34 of them just appeared on eBay for anyone who would like to take a look.)

Holmes to Homes can be deleted. Now if you want an example with no back damage then you've got a scarcity, but otherwise they are less scarce than at least a half dozen other backs from m101-4/5.

Those are some pretty healthy prices, very tough cards to find though.

You could probably add each of the w554 red printed back variations as well.
