The National Chicle Earhart card has proven to be surprisingly difficult to find a decent copy for a card that has over 100 graded examples.

I love history, and Earhart is one of my favorite people to read about. She only has five cards that were issued prior to her disappearance, and the National Chicle card is the only one that is even semi common None of the other options have even 10 graded copies on the PSA pop. chart.

I literally was looking for some of her stuff the other day, and I had never searched for her cards, but was curious what was out there. I love history -- and have always sort of checked out astronaut stuff on the fringes, but have yet to buy anything there, either.
