So I took the time to look through the pop report of SGC too and I combined pop reports of both PSA and SGC and I discovered some very interesting results.
I couldn't find an accurate pop report for Lenox Brown, Red Cross Type 1, Piedmont Factory 42, AB 460, and AB 350 No Frame because SGC does not note these designations (or year) so I did a rough estimate by simply doubling their PSA pop report.
Now when I rearrange the scarcity list based off combined pop of PSA and SGC you get this list:
1. Old Mill Brown- 1
2. Ty Cobb- 21
3. Lenox Brown- 28 (*SGC doesn’t note Brown Lenox in pop report)
4. Red Cross – Type 1- 68 (*SGC doesn’t note 1910 Red Cross in pop report)
5. Broad Leaf 460- 73
6. Drum 350- 218
7. American Beauty 460- 220 (*Can’t search for 1911 AB in SGC pop report)
8. Uzit- 242
9. Hindu Red- 277
10. Coupon Type 1- 284
11. American Beauty No Frame- 292 (*SGC doesn’t note No Frame in pop report)
12. Piedmont 350-460 Factory 42- 300 (*SGC doesn’t note Fact 42 in pop report)
13. Lenox Black- 412
14. Broad Leaf 350- 498
15. Carolina Brights- 700
16. Hindu Brown-2,149
Based off these combined PSA and SGC population T215-1 are now ranked 4th in scarcity and T213-1 is now 10th.
Again this isn't completely accurate as we all know that there is a lot of cross grading and for the backs mentioned above I couldn't get an accurate pop number so I 'guesstimated' the numbers by doubling their PSA pop number.
Still, what I've learned is that a few backs were scarcer and some not as scarce as previously thought. The biggest surprises were T215-1, AB 460, Lenox Black, and Broad Leaf 350.
Not As Scarce:
• Lenox Black could be 13th and not 8th.
• Broad Leaf 350 could be 14th and not 9th.
• Carolina Brights could be 15th and not 11th
• Uzit could be 8th and not 6th in rarity.
• Hindu Red could be 9th and not 7th in rarity
Scarcer:
• Red Cross Type 1 could be 4th and not 9th in rarity
• American Beauty 460 could be 7th and not 13th in rarity, making it potentially rarer than Uzit, Hindu Red, Lenox Black, Broad Leaf 350, and Carolina Brights
Spot On:
• Coupon Type 1 is in fact accurately around 10th in scarcity as T206 Resource has noted
