Ted ZanidakisRespectfully, I cannot agree with your premise regarding......"there has been enough demand for
commons for enough years now that I believe the pop reports are at least somewhat indicative
of the difficulty....".
The demand for HOFers and Stars far outweighs the demand for Commons. Especially, in this cur-
rent environment. The type collectors far out-number the set collectors (in the 1980's and early
'90s the converse was true). This is so, nowadays, because of the prohibitive cost involved in
putting together a complete set.
Having said that I completed two 62T sets, believe me there was no difficulty in finding these 2
cards. Furthermore, being a dealer now for 26 years I have bought and sold 1000's of 62T cards
and have helped collectors complete their sets. And, these two cards never raised any "red flags"
on their wantlists.
Regarding placement of cards on their uncut sheets, I happen to also collect uncut sheets. I have
pre-war W-type, Leaf, many Bowman, Topps, and Fleer uncut sheets. I don't have a 62T sheet;
however, I have seen several Low # uncut sheets of this set. And, there are no situations where
any of these cards were subject to even minor damage.
