What made some of the cards harder was being in a short run high series like 1967. Having a shortage for all the cards in a series makes those printed in lesser quantities in more demand. Then you had the Seaver row only printed 2 times vs. 3 or 4 for the other rows. For lower series there would be an excess of all the cards, so having 3 or 4 on a sheet wouldn't matter. People collecting sets would be able to find all of those easily, but would be chasing after the shorter printed high numbers.
