I did except I’m afraid Doug may have four raw ones sitting around somewhere.

I see. So six copies would just make it sort of rare. But no longer rare. K.

A Pop 2 went to a Pop 6 and you no longer think it is rare.

I guess the question is what is rare? I still think 6 known examples in this case is rare. If it isn't still considered rare than it is sort of rare meaning very close.

When did I suggest this wasn’t a rare card? Of course it is. There are two in existence from all that I know. If there were two less it would be extinct.

I just interpreted your comment that if four were sitting around and it went to a Pop 6 it wouldn't be considered rare any longer.

Some of this discussion is predicated around what is rare. If a card where there are two known examples increases by a few that is to be expected over time but the chances of a card with only two known examples at this point exploding is zero.

I was just being sarcastic. The card would still be rare at a 6 pop but may be worth a little less. Maybe.

I bought a lot of expensive (for the time) cards online and through the mail before third party grading got a foothold in the hobby. A lot of them turned out to be trimmed, colored or just outright fakes.
Sometimes I got my money back but more often i didn't. I'm still finding trimmed cards that have been in my collection for decades.
I'm not an apologist for the sins of TPGs, but at least these days I'm fairly confident I'm getting the real thing.
