T210 series 6 scarcity question

[FrankWakefield]

I think Goosetree leaning on that bat is a difficult card to locate. I've been piecing together some ideas about how series 6 didn't come out all at once, but in bits, which bits were first, and why a few of the cards might be more difficult to locate than others. I'll try to speed that up.

As for Womble, I don't necessarily think he's the easiest. I have seen his card offered several times the last few years. He's still a series 6 card and fairly tough.


One thing I've started to think about series 6 (and this would apply to series 8, too) is that these cards are tougher than the prices suggest. What happens is that very few folks, less than a hundred, try to collect the entire set. It is too daunting, too many cards, too much money, seldom seen... Some folks do attempt a series or a city. And that is a neat way to collect these rascals. I think most folks that have one of these has it as a type card. And folks that have 5 to 10 of them were trying to get at least one from each series. Very few folks try to get all of series 6 because of the barrier Casey Stengel is to completion. And the same for Series 8 with Joe Jackson. I think if Stengel and Jackson weren't depicted, then more folks would collect series 6 and or series 8, and the prices for the cards would be even higher. So actually, the presence of Stengel and Jackson forces the prices down for the other cards in the series.
