T210 Population Question

[wnp22]

Others with much more knowledge than me will chip in and give better answers, but I can tell you in the past few months of looking, I've seen maybe 3 cards total of Memphis players from Series 8.

I believe that Series 8 is tougher than the earlier ones, which is reflected in the market prices for commons. I'm not sure whether any of the teams within that series are tougher than others, but for what it's worth, of the four Series 8 cards I have, none are from New Orleans. (One is Nashville, three are Montgomery.)

I have been looking for low end cards for the Ft Worth players for a couple years and still don't have the full team. Wouldn't call T210's rare but they are not plentiful like T206's or 1990 Donruss. A shameful plug, if anybody has some I have several other T210's(or other cards) to trade for them.

I collect series 3 Houston-Galveston cards and some series 8, especially New Orleans...Here are the SGC pops on a few...
Joe Jackson--8
Hess, New Orleans--11
Crable, Galveston--8
Northen, Houston--7

Great answers so far. I agree Series 8 cards seem to be super scarce at the moment esp. Memphis and what I consider the toughest team in the set, Chattanooga. I would think there are a few older collectors that have some stashed away in the raw form. The sheer amount of MLB'ers in that Series dwarfs all others so thats a draw as well.

Im not sure if that Northen pop is correct as I have had 4 different graded ones in the last year unless I just got lucky on that one. I kept a Orange and Red for my set. Im looking forward to more posts and info on this thread!

Total guess/each player total pop

Series
1 30
2 40-50
3 20 Red 5-8 Orange
4 10
5 30
6 10-15
7 10-15
8 2-10

Of course in each Series there are cards that are less abundant for one reason or another.

Jason, I was just using the SGC pops as a relative guide. I agree that there are many T210 that are ungraded. To the OP's question, Joe Jackson is not a particularly rare T210... Here are 3 different series of Jimmy Hart with the SGC pops
T210-8--4
T211----4
T213-1--2

I would have guessed(wrongly) way more than those #'s. Thanks for the info Jason as you know way more than I do about these great little cards.

Thanks for the pics of all the beautiful cards everyone.

I have 44 T210's at this time. I like to touch my cards and am responsible for around 15 being cracked out of their plastic prison.
