So there seems to be some debate i guess. looking at bobby's numbers, is it possible that the suffered has outsold the "suffe ed" 3 to 1 strictly because it is more rare. maybe, that info having come out fairly recently, the suffered are selling more just because sellers are jumping to sell them as buyers are looking to buy.???
Also, what is esp perplexing about PSA's pop report is that it DOES specifically distinguish between the two spellings. in other words, when it was earlier said that all wilhelms were lumped together up until recently, which is why the "suffe ed" pop is so low, i would've assumed there'd be a column for just wilhelm and one for suffe ed or something. instead, there is no normal wilhelm column. There is a specific "suffered" column and a "suffe ed" column, with the "suffered" being about 3 to 1 ratio, as bobby had suggested. is it possible that they took all previously graded wilhelms and just put these in the suffered category?? I mean, how did they know which previously graded copies were which? Did they just guess and totally change their data?? i don't get what they're doing there.....unless they called everyone who had one graded before the distinction was made, asked what thier backs said, and adjusted their report accordingly, how do they know how many of each have been graded? i don't get it.
