Comparison of perceived scarcity/value of E90-1 cards - Now vs. 1982

The price is based on the rarity of this card, irregardless of the player shown. Even if denoted as a common as Ted suggests, the card is very tough in any grade. In EX and above, almost non-existent.

I agree to a certain extent, but I still think the Cy Young name and HOF status attached to this card probably causes its current pricing to be more than double what it would be if it were universally considered a normal player. Part of the reason I eventually settled on a 7 Kraken status instead of a 5.
