A Modern Objective View of E90-1 Rarities

[ScottFandango]

In checking EBay, (I know not all encompassing but the most visible site)
I noticed something that was expected.....

Of the top 14 cards on the scarcity list, only ONE is available for purchase on ebay right now..($600 Howell Windup -not mine)

There aren't any others for sale, supporting my position...

Next I will check completed auctions ....

A large batch recently sold on eBay, many nice cards and many with a July 10th 1910 stamp on the back....a Joe Jackson PSA 1 sold for $4750 with no buyers premium...

A Tommy Leach Throwing (a new age rarity card) PSA 1 sold for $91, which was more than all the following individual cards from the same sale:

Tannenhill PSA 3.5
J Sweeney PSA 3
Schaefer PSA 4 mk
Stovall PSA 3
Stone No hands PSA 4
Mullin PSA 4
Leever PSA 3
Tommy Leach Batting PSA 3
Jordan PSA 2.5
Howell PSA 4
Engle PSA 5mk
Donlin PSA 3
Corridon PSA 4 mk
Camnitz PSA 4 mk
Bransfield P no shirt PSA 5mk
Bradley PSA 5 mk
And a 3 card Auth lot of Keeler Tinker Overall....

So I will be watching for other sales of the aforementioned new rarities...can they continue to separate themselves from the other cards...

I put together an E90-1 set card by card about 6-7 years ago and sold it about a year ago so I wanted to offer my observations about card rarity.
I am blown away by the number of McLean cards in the pop lists! It was far and away the cardest card for me to find. Shean was the next toughest.
I didn't have any problem with the Howell, Bescher or Dougherty cards, maybe I was just lucky.
The two toughest HOFers, for me, without a doubt were Speaker and Walsh.

I'd rank my top 5 in toughness to find:

1) McLean
2) Shean
3) Speaker
4) Walsh
5) Leach throwing

Bob, it looks like your experience matches the posted population Reports pretty closely. I bet though, that someone could say they found McLean rather easy in their personal quest. That is what makes collecting interesting, everyone has had similar yet inherently unique experiences that shape our beliefs.

I agree with your list BTW

A Shoeless Joe Jacskson is up for auction currently LOTG…. The anchor of this set but not the rarest at all!

Is it yours? Why bump a 10 year old thread to post this otherwise?

Wow was not aware of the Sunset variation so I went through all of VCP past sales to 2005 and created that variation...I found 6 sales

Not mine i wish Its to bring up important info on a cool set
I got very close to completing this set but the jackson cost stopped me from completing it…. But it has so many attainable rarities making it a very collectible issue….
