The population reports for two hardest to find cards (HINDU and OLE MILL) are slim. There are only 4 total graded Old Mill back Nap Lajoie Portrait cards recorded yet any type of valuation on the card is still low for what it is. The Hindu back shows 15 in total population yet garners a very respectable premium.

Why is there such disparity between the two?
How many folks on this board have either in raw form?
Do you see many of them out in the marketplace?

Old Mill for that series is particularly tough to get. Add in the factor of it being a Lajoie and it's probably going to make it tougher. I could be wrong but I think they were short prints for that series.

You should PM Luke Lyon about Old Mills for the 150-350 series it's his bread and butter.

Where are you getting the valuation from? SMR reports from PSA? If so don't follow those they're always a lot lower than the actual market. A Cobb Red Portrait PSA 1 for $365................ I'll take that price any day of the week.
