E90-1 American Caramel exclusive artwork

Pop reports notwithstanding, there's no way that Stone-left hand is the toughest card in the set. It's a moderately difficult card, but nowhere near the toughest.

Nice thread. Interesting that many of the original artwork players are tough to find. Not all, but many stand out as the toughest (and nicest imo) in the set.

D380: What a strange mix of players. I'd think there may be a couple additional D380s not found that share this original artwork. Need to match up the cleveland, st louis, and detroit players with your list and see if any are possible.

Ed thanks for chiming in as i believe you have great knowledge of this set!
However, i am being totally objective...many times subjectivity comes into play after collectors collect and complete a set...they have personal experiences that may sculpt their beliefs on the difficulty of a specific card...this IS however Subjective...Population reports are more accurate than all the collective beliefs of collectors...Even master collectors like yourself can propogate long held beliefs of card rarities that may not be reflective in black and white:POP REPORTS

How can we be so sure? Pop reports, for some cards, can be grossly inaccurate. Regrades, crossovers, and the fact that many examples of a particular issue may not have even been sent in for grading -- these are all factors that make pop report studying an inexact science, to say the least.

GROSSLY INNACURRATE? totally disagree...

if anything, a pop report may be INFLATED by 1 or 2 due to crossover/crack resubmit...so if anything, you can correctly assume that there are actually LESS graded versions than the pop reports show...

so if a card has very few graded examples relative to the rest of the set, this shows an accurate depiction (if not overstated) of the rarity level of the card...far from GROSSLY INNACURRATE...

I updated the list in the original post based upon the input received from fellow Net54 member. If you are looking at this, I suggest you check out the related thread I just posted of E90-1card images found in other sets.
