Default Ranking the difficulty of nineteenth century issues ?

Posted By: david

i am actually working on a website to address this same issue
in my work so far i have gone over a ton of catalogs. some observations so for

rob lifson in a catalog about 8 years ago estimated there are approximately 100 or less n167 out there

just so are almost all unique examples

hancocks are all probably unique

four bases hits have a few unique examples and others there seems to be no more the 3-10 known examples

almost all ny kbat players have less then three known examples with many of them being unique. i believe there are two keefes, with one being trimmed

g and bs are harder to find then yum yums but that does not account for the individual scarcity of cards within each set. i believe the yum yum kelly next to urn is a unique example.

lone jacks are also extremely tough are are ranked somewhere in between g and bs and yum yums.

i would appreciate it if anyone can add to this info or correct any mistakes.
