Your "Trimmed Mitchell cards", might be our "key" to why they are scarcer than other
cards in the last Series. Please refer to my "new thinking" regarding this card and
also others like Duffy, Speaker, Bill Sweeney, Walsh, etc in my "Dirty Thirty" thread
and I would appreciate your response to this.

Also, I have found that the POP report can be mis-leading; since all it essentially
reflects is a "sellers market". That is....the data can be skewed by the greater #
of Stars (or Big $$ cards) that are being Graded as opposed to commons, just simply
due to that's where most of the collector action is. Set collectors likeyou and I and
others are a "vanishing breed".

Now, where an indication of a really scarce card can be gleaned from a POP report
is when a a particular "Big $$" card has a Low # on this report. Then, I would tend
to think that this combination of factors really reflects a high level of scarcity.
