Personally, I agree it shouldn't be a money card. It's just a PB O'Hara. But this opinion I have isn't material to the fact that these are big $$ cards and are much, much more likely to be graded and thus overrepresented in the pop report. It is much more profitable to grade them. Comparing O'Hara's POP to a random common's POP is not even close to an apples to apples comparison, for the exact same reason there are far more #261 Mays graded than #260 Castiglione and #262 Trucks even though we know they all had the same print run on the series 5 sheet. If we use this logic being used for the PB O'Hara and Demmitt, then the Mays must be a quintuple print because it is 500% more common in the POP, which we all know is absurd and false. It's because it's a money card and much more profitable to grade. We can use an example from practically any set. $$ cards are graded more often, comparing a $$ card to a random common in the POP is not a reasonable comparison or a valid data point.
