Gilbert MainesI guess that a HOFer can not be a common, but aren’t there instances where some are priced as such? And I would think that rare cards can not be considered common, but equally rare cards of equivalent condition will show the better known player most often commanding a higher price, and the more “common” player, a lower price. How about rookie cards – can they ever be considered common? And what about record holders … Jack Taylor pitched 187 consecutive complete games; when will that record be broken? Is he a common? Which unique cards are commons?
But wait, isn’t it a demand/supply thing too? It seems anytime you want a t206 Cobb, ’52 Mantle, etc., all you have to do is go on line, select the grade which you prefer, and bid appropriately. But try to find a Batter Up Medwick in any grade. So which of these three are common?
