Tattoo orbits

I couldn't agree more. There are many many late 20's and early to mid 30's cards that are much harder to locate, let alone in any decent condition, than say the 205's and 206's, or many of the T Cards. I'll just name a few. The buttercreams? lets see someone throw a set of decent ones together. US caramels. George Millers. W574's. Ugly but rare, the 33 Eclipse's. And on and on and on. Conceivably, all can eventually be rounded up into sets. The cost? The challenge? Why are are they given less respect? Not as old? Not as attractive? Thats debatable. I love the art deco cards of the early 30's. Many are much rarer than the revered 206 Wagner. So rarity certainly doesn't come into play. So, who knows. And the tat's. I think they're very cool. I always liked them. I used to like the 206's. I think they are overrated, not because they are so common, but I just don't find them all that attractive. And the Goudeys are more common than sand on a beach. And they are popular. So....who can make sense of it. Why is a great artists painting worth 10K and another great artist's is 10M ? Aren't we humans goofy ? But don't ya' love collecting crap ? I'm incurable.
