Rankings of the rarest T206 Cards (NOT BACKS!)
I really enjoy the posts regarding the Demmitt and O'Hara cards, and was shocked that it is estimated that there may only been about 300-500 known examples of these two cards. I am curious what you experts would say are the top 10 "rarest" cards in The Monster. This list is NOT back specific; that is a seperate beast.
I think I know the top five rarest T206s, but would love to see what you would list to round out the top 10. My list, starting with the rarest: 1. Doyle Error 2. Wagner 3. Plank 4. Magie 5. Demmitt/O'Hara 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

I would tend to say the tough variations come next..
Dahlen Brooklyn Elberfeld Washington Port Lundgren Chicago Brown Washington Then I'd say the 2 toughest SLer's...Shag and Foster Then maybe Smith Chicago and Boston Kleinow Catching Boston Evers Cubs on shirt Jamie

The 150 series card of Ed Reulbach needs to be jammed in there above Evers and below Klienow, I think.

As far as I'm concerned, the most definitive research on this topic was accomplished by Scot Reader in his book, "Inside T206". You can read it here:
http://www.oldcardboard.com/t/t206/I...al-edition.pdf Unfortunately, it seems his "Difficulty Rankings" from earlier editions is no longer in print. Not sure if that's because his data on this front changed. But here is where he listed the difficulty in the top 50 in 2006. (The first number after the names is the ranking, the second number is irrelevant for these purposes.) Cobb (Ty Cobb Back) 1 1 J. Doyle (N.Y. Nat.l) 2 2 Wagner (Pittsburg) 3 3 Plank 4 4 O.Hara (St. Louis) 5 5 Demmitt (St. Louis) 6 6 Magie 7 7 Elberfeld (Wash. Port.) 8 1 Lundgren (Chicago) 9 1 Smith (Chicago & Boston) 10 1 Persons 11 1 Cranston 12 2 Foster 13 3 Mullaney 14 4 Revelle 15 5 Hart (Little Rock) 16 6 Manion 17 Ellam 18 8 Smith (Shreveport) 19 1 Ryan 20 9 Lafitte 21 10 Howard (Savannah) 22 11 Shaughnessy 23 12 Smith (Atlanta) 24 13 Fritz 25 14 Molesworth 26 15 Coles 27 16 Paige 28 17 Bay 29 18 Reagan 30 19 Dahlen (Brooklyn) 31 2 Kiernan 32 20 Stark 33 2 Lipe 34 21 Otey 35 22 Breitenstein 36 23 Jordan (Atlanta) 37 24 Hickman 38 25 J. Doyle (N.Y.) 39 3 Lentz 40 26 Perdue 41 27 Brown (Washington) 42 4 Bastian 43 3 Thronton 44 28 Bernhard 45 29 Violat 46 30 Guiheen 47 31 Helm 48 32 Greminger 49 33 Hooker 50

Info...
So from the list the SLer's dominate the Top 50 list. With that being said, I can pick up anywhere from 2-5 of any of these players on ebay right now. I even noticed there are 4 Kid Elberfeld Portraits on ebay as well. I am not too sure scarcity matters with respect to T206's outside that top 6-7 cards.
