Are high numbers really all that rare?

Collectors nowadays have access to all the 1971 Dick Allen cards they could want. Looking to put together high number series cards on a budget and COMC with their combined shipping and access to thousands of sellers is a blessing.

So what are the toughest hi numbers? At least in the 1960s, 1966 Grant Jackson and Choo Choo Coleman come to mind. The Belanger rookie always flew out of my shop when I had one. I think the 1967 Brooks Robinson is as tough as any major player of the era. The 1968 Tigers Team is another that is tougher to track down.

The '53 Haddix & Gilliam can be quite a bear to find. They have been the last two I needed for both my sets.

Most of the 1962 Rookie Parade cards are very tough as well. One of my local customers who is working on his Indians set needs all of them that have Indians.
