T206 Addie Joss pitching/ PSA 4 with Tolstoi back

[Abravefan11]

Steve - First and foremost I have great respect for both Scot and his work and think Inside T206 was groundbreaking to say the least.

Within the text Scot writes "It is possible, but far from certain..." setting up the information that followed to be understood as an idea or theory and not fact as to why his survey count showed a higher number of Joss entrants than other subjects. I'm not sure if he had any other evidence for this theory other than the timing of both, but either way there is nothing wrong with offering a possible explanation.

I believe based on what we know now about how the set was produced that this wasn't the case. I haven't seen any evidence of a single subject being double printed or printed in excessive numbers to any other within their group or subgroup including Joss.

Concerning Joss on the rankings list there are a tremendous number of variables that go into how many of a particular subject can and will come to market. And I believe even the best surveys will produce different results when duplicated at different points in time and for different durations.

All the best.
