SGC N172 Population Report - a little history

Sticking with the HOF subset, here is a summary of the SGC & PSA graded Old Judges (Thanks Hal for the PSA list!). Again, this shouldn't be used as gospel for HOF rarity. Certain players such as Anson, Delahanty, and others may have a dis-proportionate percentage of cards graded due to the high value placed on them. Look how much the rankings changed by just adding the PSA numbers to the SGC numbers. Other outside factors such as counting cards twice etc are a reality. One of my SGC Hanlon's was crossed over from PSA. Then again, some of these factors may equally apply to all HOFers thus preserving the rarity ranking. The list should become more accurate with time, ie more statistically significant. Regardless, this list can give the collector a good idea of what's out there. Anyone have similar stats from other grading companies?
