Default Unknown Frank Baker Card

Posted By: Richard

Leon - for a type card collector, the odds of getting a T231 are exactly the same as the odds for a Baker collector getting a T231 Baker. Each collector only needs one and it just happens to be the only one that exists.

We approach it from 2 different angles.

You are a type collector so how many examples of a whole set, regardless of player, is what is important.

I am a player collector, so how many examples of a Txxx Cobb or an Exxx Cobb that exist is all that matters.

For this example, people were talking about someone who collects Baker, so my point was that the person would have just as hard of a time finding a T231 Baker as any other one of a kind Baker. They would have an easier time finding a T231 Baker than one that was perhaps catalogued, but not even confirmed to exist.
