lololol. It's that kind of top-shelf mental acuity that makes you the big bucks Cobby. lol. Good one.

I'm neither a member offically, nor a lurker, and I represent a head-count of "1" in pre-war collecting.

I think it's easy to fall into the thinking that "everyone" in pre-war is part of this forum. My reality check is the number of ebay bidders on cards that would appeal to collectors but not casual buyers, and how many ebay id's that I don't recognize for these cards. Sometimes I recognize the vast majority of bidders from this board, and other times maybe only one or two.

My best, and completely unsupported guess? Maybe 20-35% for pre 1920. Get into 20's, Goudey, PB, etc, and I suspect it's much much lower.

PURELY a swag.
