Juliecards, like Just Sos, 4BHs--where we can say with some certainty "there's only one Burkett, there're only 3 Kellys"--how would we know? (There're only 3 E-270 Jacksons...)
Even with those three examples, all we know is that only that many have SURFACED. I'm not sure there's any way to know that the numbers I gave are accurate. So, with other 19th century sets, and some 20th century (rare Caramels, for example), we can only guess. Somewhere maybe people are keeping mum about their cards...and you KNOW--that will never happen with the Wagner!
Every Wagner that's found gets "outed." (probably). But look what happened with the N173 discussion. I have one, someone has 2, someone else has three--and then all of a sudden, someone pops up with 35, and knows people with over 100.
It's going to be hard to come to any even vague conclusions, even with a lot of experts talking about it.
Be fun to listen to, though!
