Hello, All: The reason the Young is priced as it is in the 2002 book is that an example sold at auction just prior to presstime. Most of the other pricing on W600 was based on what little verifiable data was available when the listing was assembled (it is, by the way, largely the work of Jerry Spillman -- the list, not the prices (with which he also has major disagreements). You'll see many of the top-name Hall of Famers updated when the new book is released, as well as common prices, most likely. The reason the street clothes varieties are valued more highly is that they were only produced for a year or two when the series began. Many of the uniform portraits were iseeud and re-issued for the entire run of the series. Any knowledgeable input on ANY pricing in the "big book" is always wecome for consideration. You can reach me at the listed e-mail.
