Default 1934 Goudey--PSA vs. SGC Pop Totals--Some Interesting Comparisons

Posted By: Peter_Spaeth

I tend to agree with Jim that so many PSA cards have been graded that the fact that certain cards have relatively low pops suggests at least something about their overall scarcity in high grade. Most likely, what it suggests in most cases is that the cards tended to be cut off center because of their placement on the sheet. If that is the case, that distribution is likely to be reflected in the raw cards still out there, whatever percentage one believes that to be. EDITED TO ADD As just one (sorry, non "vintage" by your folks' definition) example, I am quite familiar with the 65T Charlie Smith having built that set, and nearly all the examples, even the ones that graded 8, are off center.)
