You wasted hours of your life on this trying to prove what? People are just over paying for high numbers? Go walk around a show like I do and ask every dealer. They don't come around, and they sell quickly

As some who
Is putting together a low grade 52 set I disagree. Lots of people list lots of low condition commons as singles. Also, poor condition highs go for much more then 40

The sad part about this hobby is that almost everybody believes the bullsh*t that gets fed to them. There are very few of us who challenge commonly held beliefs. Toppcat's post shows that there is nothing special about the high numbers and I thought this all along. There are plenty of em' out there for everyone!

Let's look at the 1951 Bowmans - same sh*t. When I started taking interest in this set, I would research online and read things like "high numbers are scarce! Very tough high numbers! High numbers are more difficult to find!" Well, let's do a quick eBay search from Canada, shall we?
