Tough cards in challenging sets

[skelly]

I'll put in my 2 cents on the 59 Bazooka Set. I really love this set, please feel free to disagree, agree, or make any additional comments concerning this set.

Tough Cards-
Tom Tracy- Almost never seen. In my opinion this is by far the toughest card in the set.

Lou Groza- I do see this card every once in a blue moon, but I certainly think its a tough one

Joe Perry- I've been collecting this set for over 5 years, and I've NEVER seen the Perry except as part of the complete set.

Howard Ferguson- Tough, and the packer fans are always on the prowl which makes it tougher.

Jim Brown- Not found nearly as much as the Unitas ( at least in my experience )


Easier Cards in the set-

Tobin Rote- It seems like it someone just has one 59 bazooka football, its always the Tobin Rote.

Frank Gifford- Seems to come around quite a bit

Bobby Lane- Always seem to be 2-3 on ebay, and they just don't sell

Pete Retzlaff- Seems to be an easier one

Woodly Lewis- Rather Manageable

Joe Arnett & Rick Caseras- Seem to be come around every now and then


Not to tough, but not as easy as others-
Y.A. Tittle
Unitas
Lebaron
Conerly ( seems easy for a single print )

Cards I had the most trouble with in 1935 National Chicle:

Bull Tosi - can't figure out why this card is so hard to find (and expensive) as compared to the other short prints in the set including more famous players. Any ideas?

Stan Kostka - the only card I don't have ... must be rare ;-) Have not seen many of these floating around ebay

Bronko Nagurski - I see this card more frequently than the other three but it's the most expensive as he was one of the best players in the league at that time.

Luke Johnsos - see Bull Tosi above. What's up with this card?
