That's a good example of why you need to be careful with statistics. If very few of the people participating in the super set focus on SC150-25's then the numbers will be low for that back. However if the largest known brown Hindu collection was included it would seem as though it's more common than it is.

Even as helpful as statistics are you can not rely solely on them and should consider the real world experience of collectors like Jim R. and Brian W. when ranking the scarcity of backs.
